[Zope3-dev] Getting 403 error from download.zope.org

[David Pratt]

Hi all. This circumstance highlights the need for backup distribution 
and the availability of the packages. This was touched upon in the more 
recent discussions about the cheeseshop - even as a backup to the 
download site.  Whether it is a permissions issue, site down or other 
potential issue, folks are soon to become dependent on more frequent 
requests to download.zope.org to pick up eggs.

I don't doubt for the reasons previously identified, that pipy doesn't 
have its flaws - or that there are not other compelling reasons to not 
release eggs to pipy. At the same time, probably the folks responsible 
for the distribution machinery don't want additional pressure if things 
stop working - and developers will not want there developmental 
buildouts breaking as an alternative. Is it possible to move forward 
with pipy as a backup? Many thanks.

Regards,
David
