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.
Is this a feature you would like to see in setuptools ? If so I can
write a patch,
Just be aware that I'm likely to be rather picky about how it works. :)
Besides this feature, there's one feature we started to add on
zc.buildout but could be put in setuptools's PackageIndex as well I believe :
Having the option to set a short timeout for *connections* would be
useful, I think, just as long as it doesn't end up cutting off slow
downloads. I'd prefer it to be controllable from the command line,
nonetheless.
