I made an assumption to use -i but I don't know if it would be better to have a new argument for it. Besides, this index merging thing would be helpful for merging *different* sources for mirrors, I think we need something specific : a fail-over mechanism over a list of mirrors for a given pypi-like server, with a "nearest mirror picked" feature (see my blob + pep 374 on python wiki) Regards Tarek > > Andreas > -- Tarek Ziadé | Association AfPy | www.afpy.org Blog FR | http://programmation-python.org Blog EN | http://tarekziade.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
