Re: TG2 install testers needed

Worked like a charm for me on ubuntu hardy. Trying on my XP box now.

We now have a web-based index for all TG2 related projects.

So installing TG2 should be as simple as:

easy_install -i http://www.turbogears.org/2.0/downloads/1.9.7a1/index
tg.devtools

But this hasn't been widely tested yet, so it's possible that we're
missing a compiled binary somewhere, or have some other problem.

So, if you have a few min, and want to help out could you give the
install a test, and report back to this list with what you find?

I highly recommend using virtualenv for things like this, since it
will keep your site-packages clean.   And you know how exciting a
clean site-packages directory is ;)

So using a virtualenf the steps to test tg2's install would be:

virtualenv --no-site-packages tg1.9.7test
cd tg1.9.7test/
source bin/activate
easy_install -i http://www.turbogears.org/2.0/downloads/1.9.7a1/index
tg.devtools

If you don't have virtualenv installed already you can get it with:

easy_install virtualenv

And you can read more about the wonders of virtualenv here:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv

If all goes well with the install tests, I'll create some tags, and do
the alpha release tomorrow.   (Shh, don't tell anybody, that's a
secret!)
