TurboGears 0.9a1 released!
Kevin Dangoor
This release has been long in coming, but there's a lot that's new.
This release includes "widgets" for working with forms easily, the
Toolbox (including the CatWalk database model browser) set of
browser-based development tools, internationalization, revamped and
hugely improved error handling, and an identity framework for
out-of-the-box authentication/authorization. There are *many*
improvements to TurboGears in this release. Take a look at the
changelog:

This release is essentially feature-complete. I'm calling it an alpha
because there are still a number of bugs to correct and the
documentation needs a lot of updates and enhancements. For people who
have been running TurboGears out of svn, you now have a more stable
base to work from.
Many thanks to the members of the TurboGears core team, and the 40+
people who adding things large and small to this release!

I've packaged turbogears-0.8.9 for nslu2-linux optware [1], and am in
the process of packaging 0.9a. It's really cool runningTurboGears on a
TurboSlug [2]!
Most people here probably do not care about packaging, since setuptools
is very easy to use. But most distributions like to have all programs
packaged, the setuptools --single-version-externally-managed option is
a really good middleground.
A small request here to the TurboGears team is: please don't forget the
need of system packagers, and make available source tarball (or zip
file) for any release packages with the setup.py script.
Thanks for the excellent work,

You can use eggs for that. They are zipped files that can be uncompressed and
used normally. :-)

"--single-version-externally-managed", then we're 90% there.
Unfortunately egg in their current form is the result of running
setup.py, so it does not contain setup.py. Also it probably does not
support --root, --prefix, or build_scripts executable options.
I hope it's not too much to ask since to build the egg TurboGears must
have a source tree with setup.py available already.

Correct, it should be a simple case of checking out the SVN tag for
the version you require. e.g. for the latest 0.9a1 release:
svn co http://www.turbogears.org/tags/0.9a1/
You can then zip it, omitting .svn folders.
