It can't because you guys broke a dozen packages when you split up some

Can we stop pointing fingers, please?
Sorry for not sugar coating the facts. I gladly will stop pointing
fingers when you guys fix the bugs that you introduced and have been
made aware of, e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope3/+bug/158743.
Not to worry now, I finally found the time to do it myself at the Boring
Sprint now.
I just spent 3-4 man-weeks to get the
packages to a decent state, produce the KGS and write tools to make the
entire process a little saner. Certainly not a mess that I started.
Also, I have a couple of beefs with the "locked down index" approach to
the KGS. For instance, if we use the Zope 3.4.x KGS, how would we lock
down the version of the grok egg? Or simplejson, z3c.flashmessage and
all the other Grok-specific dependencies? Create our own locked down
index? I don't think so.
For all packages living at svn.zope.org, the KGS is open and people can submit
additions, as I offered in a recent zope-dev mail. (I wonder whether anyone
read it.)
As for other packages, you have two choices:
(1) Fix the versions in the [version] section of buildout.
(2) Derive a new KGS based on the Zope 3.4 one.
When Jim and I discussed the KGS and how to implement it initially, we had the
second solution in mind. In fact, we talked in particular about grok as an
example.
Implementing support for (2) should be pretty simple. You simply have to
enhance the zc.mirrorcheeseshopslashsimple code to accept multiple
controlled-pages.cfg files. This should take about 30 mins.
The versions.cfg file loaded from HTTP works now.
If you want some
of the testing comforts that I have enjoyed, then you need to adjust
zope.release to handle multiple controlled-packages.cfg files as well. This
is an overall easy task and getting the index online is also pretty
straightforward. I use the following crontab configuration:

e3.4
* * * *
* /home/srichter/mirror-tool/bin/update-simple-mirror /var/www/download.zope.org/zope3.4
So you're telling me that in order to define my own KGS (which anybody
should do for a serious project), I'll have to start deploying my own
index. For each project?
