Subject: [Van-pm] Local ppm repository
Message-ID: <4c93055f0709121632r6b904eb9v3cf3fe2d55aff5ad@mail.gmail.com>

Hey all,

I know we have active state listening in up here...

I'm a UNIX perl developer that has had Win32 thrust upon me. Anyhow,
the shop I'm working for develops from behind a mostly closed network
and the question of a local PMM repository pops up from time to time.

I've done some searching and the answer _I_ like best to date is to
purchase an AS DVD for each platform and use this a local repository
and augment where needed.

I'm asking the opinion of the group: is this the path or is there a better way?

Thanks in advance,

Christian Werner
Bellingham, WA

Why not run an internal http mirror of ppm.as.com ?

You can easily keep up to date via rsync at:

rsync://ppm.activestate.com/PPM/

Make it accessible over http and point all your ppm clients over to it.

That's what I would do.
