Hi,
I spend some more time on bandersnatch and I'm ready for a stable release, I guess.
Updates ------------
* Add a specific user agent to XML-RPC and plain HTTP calls * Add a specific user agent to the logging to support debugging * Provide a default (10s) network timeout and a config option to customize * Clean up README
PIP ---
I'd be happy to cut a release now. Holger Krekel asked me whether I could ensure that bandersnatch is pip installable. Looking through the PIP documentation I don't see how I can make a simple "pip install bandersnatch" repeatable.
Especially if someone would run a public mirror I would prefer if they would use an installation method that makes their deployment repeatable. From my own experience and background I would prefer buildout in the following style:
$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/ctheune/bandersnatch $ cd bandersnatch $ hg co 1.0 $ virtualenv-2.7 .
As to installability, why not: $ bin/python setup.py install $ bin/bandersnatch now? You'd need to import from setuptools instead of distutils to get the install_requires=[dep1,dep2,...] metadata interpreted correctly. Also, uploading a 1.0 release to pypi would allow to say "pip install bandersnatch" instead of getting the hg repo and the setup.py install command. cheers, holger
$ bin/python bootstrap.py $ bin/buildout $ bin/bandersnatch
Thoughts?
Contacting mirror owners ----------------------------------
All this work is directed towards getting the existing official mirrors back to a "green bar" situation soon. Can someone help me contact the existing mirror owners to convince them to switch tools?
Also, I'd be happy to run a couple vhosts around the world to extend the network if some people throw in some money (gittip?)
Cheers, Christian
