Hi guys,
Does zc.buildout and/or the default egg recipe have any way of overriding the download URL from the cheese shop if that URL is broken and I cannot reach the package maintainer?
You can try to use find-links to point directly to the egg you want.
Which package is giving you trouble?
The package is a tarball source package: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python/1.2.2 The Sourceforge download URL listed on that page does not work, at least that specific mirror does not have the file anymore. Others still do. I have tried to use find-links with a full URL to a suitable tarball but it still tried the broken URL from the cheese shop. By the way, I also tried to provide the tarball by downloading it directly into the "downloads" folder in the buildout but it did not appear to look there at all. jens
