Hello again, I'm trying to ASCII-fy so that I don't send another base64 blob.

My whole post could be summarized as: you're reinventing the apt-get paraphernalia. I'd prefer to drop a python.list into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with: deb http://eggs.python.org/apt <whatever> <whatever> And use the rest of the tools I already have. The really *big* -1 this has is that I'm basically gonna be using --single-version-externally-managed eggs (which makes it impossible to have multiple "inactive" versions and require() them, if I understood Phillip Eby correctly). > The "egg sync" stuff was to get the latest package information from > PyPI and from your locally installed packages so that you can do fast > and offline queries against it.

I was thinking "sync local" re-gets the repository's Packages master-list. Then you read in the locally installed ones (which is a matter of traversing sys.path and looking for the .egg-info files; I think those are now (as of 2.5) expected to be there. All this has been done before; that's why I'm being so bone-headed about it. > > D*mn.

I think easy_install -f <url> can work against an Apache directory index. I thought that was the whole point behind it, really. -- Luis "Bone-headed describes me so well" Bruno _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
