[Erp5-dev] Buildout API

[rafael at nexedi.com]

Hi,

We would like to have it distributed and not only for eggs but for ALL  
kind of downloads that should be done by the buildout. For example  
haproxy setup [1]:

[haproxy]
recipe = hexagonit.recipe.cmmi
url = http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.4/src/haproxy-1.4.9.tar.gz
md5sum = 2cbcc95b54c0d803edaa13e7b4aeec25

This recipe uses zc.buildout.download (standard buildout API) and  
requires this that url be online when you run buildout for the first  
time.

Considering that we get files from multiple source, we increase the  
changes that some service be offline, breaking the buildout setup.

Move all dependencies for a central server is not so good idea,  
because this makes dependencies update quite hard and requires someone  
copy all dependencies to this server. The good approach for all  
downloads should be:

1st: Try Local cache (buildout download API already do this) which are  
not available in the first run.
2nd: Try original URL (buildout download API already do this)
3rd: Try a cache server or "network cache" (what we want to do or know  
if someone already did it)

This will guarantee that buildout could still running even original  
source is offline. It is also preferred that ALL recipes can use this  
network cache and be unified (or available) to download eggs too.
