A while ago, I created an experimental PyPI mirror: http://download.zope.org/ppix/
Recently, I've been working on a mirror of the new simple index: http://download.zope.org/simple/ This mirrors the pages at: http://cheeshop.python.org/simple/ In experimenting with this, I found that buildouts were taking much longer (e.g. 70 second vs 40 seconds) using the simpler mirror than using the ppix mirror. I added some additional logging and found that when using the simple index, buildout was getting a lot of non- simple pages. A common practice is to use the package index page for a project as the project home page. There's no point in a simple page including a link to the non-simple page as it contains the same or less information. I filter these pages out in the ppix index. The simple index doesn't. For example, the simple page for zc.buildout: http://cheeseshop.python.org/simple/zc.buildout has home page links to http://www.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout. Martin, can you filter links like this out of the simple output? (If not, I'll filter them out when I mirror.) Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Powered!
