Hi Jason,

For I suppose security reasons, the pip team decided to no longer support
installing packages that aren't hosted directly on PyPI. Since we actually
host the packages ourselves (for a variety of reasons), pip will just
ignore them.

There's a command line option in pip to turn this off, but we have no
control over it ourselves.

It's possible you'll hit other issues with pip. I'm open to hearing about
them, but we cannot offer official support for pip until they stop breaking
us.

Christian
