FYI, the handling of homepage and download links is broken. You have e.g. 'meta="homepage"' instead of 'rel="homepage"', so easy_install doesn't pick these up and look for links there, meaning that ppix fails to find downloads for e.g. pywin32 which is hosted at Sourceforge. (On a perhaps not entirely unrelated note, the Cheeseshop appears to be down at the moment: """Error... There's been a problem with your request psycopg.OperationalError: no connection to the server""") By the way, I'd suggest explaining (or linking to an explanation) on the ppix main page describing how to configure easy_install such that the '-i' option isn't necessary. Perhaps we could add an example to the EasyInstall docs somewhere near: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#creating-your-own-package-index and then link to it from the ppix page. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
