Great. I would love to get a little write-up on how to use it, so I can put it on the intro page. > Note that if the KGS really wants to be a KGS (literally "known good", > it's a matter of semantics, not of technology): I agree. > - An invariant must be met that only one version of each package > should be present in the index. I disagree. This is not what this means to me. I think a KGS can receive bug fix releases, which the Zope 3.4 KGS does. However, no new feature releases are allowed. > - The set is frozen (no packages will be added to or removed from or > changed). Yep, I agree. No packages will be added or removed for the Zope 3.4 version of the KGS. I will soon add a new Zope-Dev KGS, which is open to new feature releases. > The first is true for what we have now neither of the "minimal" set or > the set you're calling the "KGS". Right. Note that versions-*.cfg and links-*cfg are frozen. I am probably going to freeze minimal/ as have minimal-*/ too. > The second I'm pretty sure is not > true of the thing you're calling the KGS (it still mirrors the > cheeseshop regularly), I'm not sure about the intent for the "minimal" > set. Well, this is a limitation of the current setuptools system. In buildout I can only specify one index, since setuptools can have only one index. So it is necessary that I make all packages available in that index and this is what I produce as download.zope.org/zope3.4. But I have explained this multiple times before, so I am not going to repeat the argument any more. Please try buildout and see for yourself.
