Can someone help me get around the unavailable http://kan.so?

[Bill Wynne]

I have cloned a git project that calls "kanso install".  Needless to say this fails with a timeout.  Is there a way around this issue?  Apparently the dependencies found in kanso.json files can't otherwise be satisfied?  This seems like a major issue for folks distributing couch apps?  Do I have alternatives?

Bill, it's not a great alternative but you can clone the packages from the kanso GitHub site into your packages/ folder.  Thinking if the site remains unstable then we can setup a mirror of the entire kan.so site. But I have a feeling it will get migrated to some stable infrastructure soon.

Oh ok.  Thanks, Milan.  I will try that!

That worked.  :)

Here is a possible direction: In lib/kansorc.js, there seems to be some notion of a kansorc file. Unfortunately kan.so is down and even cached results of google isn't showing what the kansorc file looks like. 

For the moment, I have made it work by:

1. replicating from http://kanso.iriscouch.com to a local DB instance

2. overriding the DEFAULTS section in lib/kansorc.js to refer http://my.site.com:5984/kanso

Caolan, if you could give tips on how to go about doing this right, it will be helpful.

Suraj, to override the default repositories value just include a `repositories` property in your .kansorc file, for example:

exports = {
repositories: [
“http://my.site.com:5984/kanso-packages”, "http://kan.so/repository"
],
env : {
default: “http://my.site.com:5984/myapp"
}
}

HTH,

Correction:

exports = {
repositories: [
“http://my.site.com:5984/kanso-packages”, "http://kan.so/repository"
],
env : {

default: {
db: “http://my.site.com:5984/myapp”
},
dev: {
db: “http://my.site.com:5984/myapp-dev”,
overrides: { loglevel: “debug" }
}
}
}

in lib/kansorc.js

Added:

        "http://kanso.iriscouch.com/repository"
       
Commented out:

        /** "http://kan.so/repository" **/


My problem is solved.

I'm not getting a response from the iriscouch url and amending .kansorc yields no results here. Is there some magic involved in making that happen?

[Milan Andric]

Sorry Luke, the kan.so site is down at the moment, I believe a migration is in progress from iriscouch to cloudant.

One alternative is to get your packages directly from github https://github.com/kanso and install manually, most of the packages are there.  Unless of course you have your own packages repository which you can configure your .kansorc to point to.

Thanks - it's nice to know there might be a migration underway.

[Milan Andric]

Yea, hoping Caolan sees this so we can get a confirmation.
