Description Jean-Noël Rivasseau (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-11 12:17:56 UTC
1.0.8 is quite old (and not sure it works with latest Pythons).

Reproducible: Always

Have you checked out the "turbogears2" overlay?

# sudo layman -a turbogears2

This package has been purged from Portage a while ago.

See http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/dev-python/turbogears/?hideattic=0&sortby=rev&pathrev=MAIN and https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480070.

Turbogears 2 is alive and well:: "Latest stable release: 2.3.6 - 
released July 26, 2015"   here:: http://www.turbogears.org/current-status.html.

It would be great to get this python tool back into portage.
turbogears-2.0.3 exists here::

 "turbogears2" layman/turbogears2

And there is a turbogears-meta if desired, also at the aforementioned site.

PLEASE?

Hello James,

I wonder if anyone else would really use TurbuGears from a package rather than form a custom virtualenv or something like that.  Can you tell more about your use case / enviroment?

If it matters to you maybe we could join for re-viving the turbogears2 overlay
(https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/turbogears2.git/).  Moving that to GitHub would work if it makes a difference.

Best, Sebastian

Motivation for turbogears:: It is a critical part of a new
and exciting network management system; lead developer is 
Craig Small (of procfs fame) https://enc.com.au/. 
RoseNMS looks to have many new features and is vastly streamlined
for ease of code development.


Craig has deep knowledge of many low level things and is
considered a coder's coder. Craig has extended a personal 
invitation to me to work on rnms (rosenms) with him. 

So, I just assumed many would benefit form turbogears-2.3.x.
I can just hack the oldest ebuild I can find and post it
as you like (push), for now if that is best. I just though that turbogears
had atrophied because nobody picked in up early in the
2.x series. Between version one and two it did languish for a while.

Either way, from what I've read, turbogears 2.3.x looks very good.
Make the call and please advise me on your decision.

hth,
James

Considering all the above, having been purged from portage already, to re-add it is a big call.  I can do this via proxy-maintainers but as you can see there is no urgent call for its return in this bug.  Being a proxy maintainer is the way to go here.
