hi all, devpi-server, the self-updatding pypi.python.org caching proxy, just saw a new 0.8.4 release. Instead of BeautifulSoup it now uses pip's link parsing. This should serve as a shortcut to avoid real life crawling issues. IOW, whatever pip can install, should also be installable through the devpi-server cache.
