I don't think anyone is against putting up a CDN. It should meet the same security requirements we have for the pypi server itself, ie. HTTPS all the way, proper certificates, operated by the PSF, perhaps run on a different domain, and whatever other goodies Donald can come up with ;-) For the external links we need a migration path... that's in the works. See http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyPI/DownloadMetaDataProposal for a proposal that allows migrating away from relying on external hosts in a backwards compatible and secure way. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Mar 01 2013) >>> Python Projects, Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope/Plone.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::::: Try our mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
