<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi;<br><br></div>I have been following some of the comments about grokproject failure, and feel somewhat strongly that problems like this should be fixed and not skirted around. <br><br>You see, at some time in the past, some kind developer wrote a system called buildout, and another equally pleasent person built something called PasteScript which together can perfectly install/deploy and maintain a Python project remotely just from a set of configuration files. To discard that hard work and kindness is a smack in the face of the people who contributed their efforts.<br><br></div>There's not a lot wrong, and as far as I can see nothing at all wrong with grokproject, paster or buildout.<br><br><a href="http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/1.5.5/versions.cfg">http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/1.5.5/versions.cfg</a> lists the following right at the top of the file:<br><br><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">[buildout]<br>extends =<br> <a href="http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/zopetoolkit/tags/1.1.4/zopeapp.cfg">http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/zopetoolkit/tags/1.1.4/zopeapp.cfg</a><br> <a href="http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/zopetoolkit/tags/1.1.4/ztk.cfg">http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/zopetoolkit/tags/1.1.4/ztk.cfg</a><br>versions = versions<br>sources = sources<br></blockquote><br>The problem is that <a href="http://svn.zope.org">svn.zope.org</a> currently redirects to github, and github does not support svn. Indeed, with the typical workflow of git, I doubt there's much concern given to tagging specific versions in the same way it was done with svn. (some people sell this as a good thing).<br><br></div><div>With <a href="http://svn.zope.org">svn.zope.org</a> gone, grokproject (a wrapper around paster) tries and fails to download zopeapp.cfg and ztk.cfg.<br></div><div><br></div><div>So, the question is how to retrieve the zopeapp.cfg and ztk.cfg files for specifically version 1.1.4 of zopetoolkit.<br><br></div><div>After some poking, I found the following url:<br><div style="margin-left:40px"><a href="http://download.zope.org/zopetoolkit/index/1.1.4/">http://download.zope.org/zopetoolkit/index/1.1.4/</a><br></div></div><div>points to a subdirectory with:<br><div style="margin-left:40px"><img src="http://download.zope.org/icons/unknown.gif" alt="[ ]"><a href="http://download.zope.org/zopetoolkit/index/1.1.4/zopeapp-versions.cfg">zopeapp-versions.cfg</a>13-Feb-2012 13:41 1.0K

We need someone with the requisite permissions to fix this.<br><br></div><div>Regards<br></div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>
