Yes, it's a short-term fix because otherwise it would be no better than pip in the dependency resolution department: download each dist, run egg_info, look for dependencies, download them, rinse and repeat. I'd love to get this metadata onto PyPI, but that depends on the PyPI folks + for the metadata to be accepted as a format. For it to be proven as a useful format, it needs wider exposure ... so that's what I'm hoping for. No doubt the wider exposure will lead to improvements. You can think of the red-dove.com location as just a sort of unofficial early version of what could be on PyPI, if the relevant people agree it's useful.
