Is the spec at http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#package-index-api still the definitive version of what must be provided for a local PyPI index (for use by something like pip)? Or is there a more up to date version anywhere?
For example, are MD5 signatures still the only supported version? I thought we were moving away from MD5. And while I haven't really followed the offsite hosting changes, are the rel="homepage"/rel="download" links still as stated? (I think I'd want rel="download" on everything as I only expect to provide URLs for actual package content). Also, how definitive is item 7, which states that the root URL must result in a page containing all projects, but it can be omitted if case-insensitive safe_name() matching of projects is implemented? The reason I ask is that providing a full listing will be somewhat costly in my application, but providing case-insensitive matching should be doable (actually, I'm not sure yet what's feasible, but I want to know whether it's worth my time even investigating). I'm still thinking about design at the moment, so what I need is far from decided, but I want to be sure that I'm actually implementing the correct spec as a starting point!
