I found this link somewhere which is supposed to point to turbogears
documentation: http://docs.turbogears.org/ Unfortunately, it appears
not to work anymore.

Searches aren't yielding much else. Does anyone know a good alternate
source of online documentation? Thanks.

Just brought Moin up a few minutes ago. I'm planning to set up a
supervisord instance to kepp Moin up and runningin a couple of days
after I'm over some work that's keeping me very busy. Until then,
email me directly in case it crashes again (as I'm not following the
ML very closely lately) so I can bring it up ASAP.

Thanks,
Alberto

Hi Alberto,

Do you know why it keeps going down? The frequency seems to be
increasing.

Just curious.

Thanks,
Krys

Personally, I find the fact that this stuff is not adequately mirrored
really disturbing. It does not bode well for basing a business on gears
technology.

This is probably a good time to set up an automatic mirror to another
location. Any volunteers?

I can probably host a mirror. Not sure now to mirror MoinMoin, but I am
willing to figure it out.

One question though, are there any stats on how much bandwidth and
server space docs.turbogears.org uses?

Thanks,
Krys

Kevin, if you can get with me offlist with some info on requirements I'd
love to help out.

Thanks

The docs site is only about 1mb from my tests, probably the best trick
would be for whoever controls the docs site to cron a static
representation of it under /static or something, using MoinMoin/
scripts/moin_dump.py or equivalent. Then anyone who wants to can run
wget --wait 2 -m http://docs.turbogears.org/static/ to get a copy.
Might be some problems with the CSS/layout stuff. Unsure, but at least
you'd have the information.

That sounds like a flexible solution. It also sounds like both
Richard Harding and I could set up mirrors. (and anyone else.)

As a side benefit, it would also provide a way to include snapshots of
the docs on CDs (The next TG DVD?) :-), local servers, or even in the
source package.

It also keep all the editing on the main site, where it belongs.

What I did was just use wget to pull down the docs.turbogears.org. I set
it up on a subdomain of my existing domain. I don't know if you'd prefer
I purchase some other domain, or if you want to setup a subdomain of
turbogears.org that you delegate to my box for mirroring purposes.

Most of the links and all seem fine. The moinmoin controls at the bottom
(like edit) are hard coded to the docs.turbogears.org domain so that we
should have no worries about people trying to edit. wget does a nice job
of making everything just .html files and the formatting seems ok. The
one thing is that it's grabbing .png files, but not .jpg so no header.
I'm looking into how to get those as well. If anyone is a wget master
please let me know.

Anyway, the url right now is tg_mirror.avwsystems.com

If this is acceptable I'll just setup a cron job to re-wget the files
nightly or something. It's not that much data and takes something like
5-10 seconds to get.

Hi Rick,

Would you be willing to share your wget script/command line?

In any case I'll see about setting up another mirror tomorrow. I need
to sleep now.

Thanks in advance,
Krys

I was talking with Mark last night and he asked that I also tar up the
mirror so that people can download the docs to their machine. I have
setup a script to do that and the mirror download is here:

http://tg_mirror.avwsystems.com/tg_mirror.tgz

I'll update that tarball every night. It comes in around 1.4mb right now.

Hi everyone,

I had posted this reply several days ago, but it seems that Google did
not actually post it.

As mentioned in my previous posts, I have also set up a static mirror
for the TurboGears docs. You can browse it here:

http://dev.krys.ca/tgdocs/

There is a downloadable tarball of it too, at:

http://dev.krys.ca/tgdocs/docs.turbogears.org-nightly-mirror.tar.gz

They are both updated nightly.

Rick and I have been collaborating and we now both use the same
script.

Mark, would be willing to link to my mirror from the docs site as
well? A second mirror may or may not be necessary, but it can't hurt.

Finally, if anyone is interested, Rick or I could provide the
mirroring script, but I think that having two mirrors is sufficient
and we don't everyone smashing on the wiki every night. :-)

Anyway, I hope this helps.

Feedback and comments are always welcome.

Enjoy!
Krys
