Since mirrors for PyPI and alternative egg servers are being , what
about making the "index" variable in
zc.buildout accept multiple values, like what find-links does ?
Buildout uses and tries hard to be compatible with setuptools. In
particular, it relies on the setuptools.package_index.PackageIndex
class, which only allows a single index to be provided.
Yes, I was thinking of handling several PackageIndex instances on
zc.buildout side as a first thaught.
What you really want/need is to make the PackageIndex support
retrieval from multiple index urls; the PackageIndex itself
aggregates available packages from sources such as the local file
system, -f urls, and an underlying package index. So having multiple
aggregators would duplicate processing, and deprive you of a global
ordering of package precedences.
