Hi, I was wondering what the difference between type=mirror and type=stage is. Is it that: - a mirror gets its list of package exclusively from its 'bases' and you can't upload to it - a stage allows you to upload to it and never looks at its list of bases for packages Or is it something else? I'm seeing the following behavior: $ devpi index --create one type=stage bases=root/pypi http://localhost/pypi/root/one: type=stage bases=root/pypi volatile=True uploadtrigger_jenkins=None acl_upload=root $ devpi index --create one type=stage bases=root/pypi http://localhost/pypi/root/one: type=stage bases=root/pypi volatile=True uploadtrigger_jenkins=None acl_upload=root $ devpi list $ devpi index --create two type=mirror bases= http://localhost/pypi/root/two: type=mirror bases= volatile=False Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/devpi", line 9, in <module> load_entry_point('devpi-common==1.2', 'console_scripts', 'devpi')() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/devpi/main.py", line 29, in main return method(hub, hub.args) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/devpi/index.py", line 63, in main return index_create(hub, url, kvdict) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/devpi/index.py", line 5, in index_create index_show(hub, url) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/devpi/index.py", line 36, in index_show ixconfig["uploadtrigger_jenkins"],)) KeyError: 'uploadtrigger_jenkins' $ devpi use root/two current devpi index: http://localhost/pypi/root/two/ (logged in as root) ~/.pydistutils.cfg : no config file exists ~/.pip/pip.conf : no config file exists ~/.buildout/default.cfg: no config file exists always-set-cfg: no $ devpi list 0x10c-asm 1009558_nester 131228_pytest_1 17MonIP 18-e 1ee 1pass 1to001 2013007_pyh 2C.py ... [Removed huge list a pacakges presumably from root/pypi] $ devpi use -l root/pypi bases= volatile=False root/two bases= volatile=True root/one bases=root/pypi volatile=True Why didn't 'root/one' list any packages when it had 'root/pypi' as a base. And, why did 'root/two' list a whole bunch of packages when didn't have any bases? Is a 'mirror' always a mirror of the central pypi server? Can I not have 'root/one' and 'root/two' be stage indexes and 'root/three' be a mirror of just those two and not the central public pypi server? And why did I get that 'uploadtrigger_jenkins' error?
