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 . $ 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
