[Distutils] Cheesecake service

[Pascoe, S (Stephen)]

Excellent,

I'm a great fan of cheesecake.  Can I ask how packages are selected for
scoring?  There seems a lot fewer packages on the list than everything
in PyPI.

I will be giving a couple of talks on eggs at PyCon2007 next week, one
aimed at beginners using eggs and one at developers.  A key messages of
the second talk will be how to make packages easy_install compatible.
I'd like to publicise this cheesecake service there.

Cheers,
Stephen.

Hi,

On top of PyPI and Cheesecake I've build a Cheesecake service - a
service which automatically downloads and scores new package releases.
It is available  at this address: http://pypi.pycheesecake.org/pypi/ .
Probably of most interest here is the easy_installability page
(http://pypi.pycheesecake.org/pypi/easy_installability) which shows
releases which are listed on PyPI, yet still can't be easy_installed.
If this feature proves itself to be reliable it could probably
substitute a list of successful installations on
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PackageNotes .

I'm open to any suggestions on how this service can be improved. You can
learn more about Cheesecake principles in this recent blog post:

Cheers,
mk
