[Baypiggies] Ye Ol' Cheeseshop Question...

[Brent Tubbs]

You can download the older boto at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/boto/2.0b2 .

I recently set up a Cheeseshop at work using django-chishop.  It's
nice to not only have reproducible installs, but also to know that a
PyPi outage won't break your ability to deploy.

I've thought about trying pip's pybundle support but haven't taken the plunge.
