[Distutils] Re: packaging guide and private packages index

2018-07-31 Thread Alex Becker
My company was recently in this situation, and it was definitely hard to get information on non-self-hosted solutions for private packages. We settled on packagecloud.io, but there are some definite pain points that I think PyPA could productively document: - Many tools do not support indices
