Index inheritance across devpi-server instances
by Cristiano Cortezia 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Hello, I have a central devpi-server instance deployed on a vps on the cloud, which I'd like to mirror locally on my laptop. Is it currently possible ? I would appreciate if someone could point me the right docs. I already searched without any success. Cheers, and thanks for the nice work done so far !

Getting rid of the "dev" postfix in the version number
by Achim Domma 28 Jan '14

28 Jan '14

HI, when I execute a "devpi upload" in my package folder, the uploaded version always gets a "dev" postfix appended to the version. To install such a version using pip, I have to specifiy the --pre flag. I have no glue whether devpi decides to append this postfix or setuptools or ... Could somebody give me a hint how to get rid of this behavior? kind regards, Achim

Question about PyPI full mirror (38,000+ packages) using devpi
by Richard Gomes 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

I've downloaded all packages from PyPI and I'd like to create a local mirror using devpi. I had the following idea: 1. create a new index say /root/pypimirror based on /root/pypi 2. upload the entire folder containing 38,000+ packages onto /root/pypimirror 3. eventually setting /root/pypimirrot to NotVolatile (if this can be done, somehow) /myuser/myindex +-- /root/pypimirror +-- /root/pypi Another idea would be creating a "parallel" index to /root/pypi and exposing a third index which derives from both. /myuser/myindex +-- /root/pypi +-- /root/pypimirror Does this idea make sense? Is there a better way of doing it, in particular without having to download everything again from PyPI? I have another concern: performance. Since 38,000+ packages implies on large directories in the file system... do you think that devpi will have troubles managing such amount of packages? Thanks a lot, -- Richard

Resolving of dependencies of updated packages
by Achim Domma 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Hi, my machine is configured to use our local devpi server as pypi server. If there's a new package (newer pyramid version in our case), this package is fetched. But it looks like the old, cached versions of dependencies (WebOb in our case) are used by devpi/pip. I saw that some issues, which might be related to that, are fixed in the latest release. But according to "pip freeze", we are already using the latest version: Pygments==1.6 WebOb==1.3.1 argparse==1.2.1 bottle==0.11.6 devpi-common==1.2 devpi-server==1.2.1 docutils==0.11 eventlet==0.14.0 execnet==1.1 greenlet==0.4.1 itsdangerous==0.23 meld3==0.6.10 py==1.4.19 requests==2.1.0 supervisor==3.0 wsgiref==0.1.2 I checked the server logs, but did not see anything that would be helpful to me, to figure out what's going on. Is there a flag to make server side logging more verbose? Or is there any other hint what might be going on? Or how to figure it out? cheers, Achim

Hosted Devpi / SAAS?
by Erik 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Hello- I tried googling for this on my own, but is anyone aware of an operational SAAS service which hosts devpi? For example, like AWS? I stumbled onto this project, from Defend Against Fruit, while looking for a respository system for python packages. The next best thing seems to be Artifactory Cloud. The price is reasonable but it seems like you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get it to work for python projects, as it is designed for Java. -Erik

"Shadowing" upstream repositories
by Mahmoud Abdelkader 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Hi there, We're using devpi in production and we have some internal libraries that we don't really plan on releasing to the public. Some of them are named in a way that clashes with pypi's upstream packages (though they are in no way shape or form related). How can I achieve this with devpi? I wasn't able to really get a clear answer and the documentation on "shadowing" -- which is presumably what this feature that I'm inquiring about -- says "TODO." :) Any tips would be appreciated on how to workaround this issue! Cheers & thanks for devpi! Mahmoud
