Question: how to maintain such a custom index?
Create an Apache-served folder structure such that for each project you want to serve, indexroot/project/ is a directory listing of downloadables. Alternately, make a indexroot/project/index.html for that project, that that links directly to your download targets (which you need not directly serve).
But how to get the right collection of tarballs in there? Is that a by-hand approach? Can you automate it?
Presumably, if you have something particular in mind, you could write a script to do it. Perhaps you could even use buildout to do it in some fashion. ;-)
Question 2: I thought you could only have one index. So installing something extra from pypi seems out.
You can always add a mod_rewrite rule in your index root, that checks for the nonexistence of a projectname, and then automatically redirects to the PyPI index for that page. easy_install will not be confused by this - it will treat the PyPI page as if it had been served by your index. (But of course it will correctly interpret any relative links found as relative to the PyPI page, rather than as relative to the URL it tried to fetch from your index. If you don't understand any of this, don't worry... it Just Works.)
