Allow creating mirror type index
Hi, Are there any plans to allow creating mirror type indexes in addition to stage types? That way if I have say a company pypi server somewhere with packages I could add an index in my local devpi to be a mirror of it, and then it could be base of other stage type indexes I create. This question seems to imply this is almost possible: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/devpi-dev/mirror/devpi-dev/tJp2Xi... But just needs to allow the upstream index-url to set for the mirror (and not crash of course). Thanks, \Peter
One possible solution for this use-case which *might* infer less development cost and complexity, would be to allow a replication mode (--master) that is uni-directional, i.e. only syncs to the replica, but not back.
That would work fine too; the main need here is that I have an external to a machine, but internal to the company, repo with packages that I need to get inserted into the chain, however that is best/easiest to make happen. I looked around the code that makes pypi mirror work, I'm not sure I understand enough to even attempt changing that; I'll take a look at the replication stuff to see what that looks like.
