find-links are searched before the index
Are all find-links searched, regardless of whether they're in ~/.buildout/default.cfg or a buildout.cfg? (ie: what happens if both have find-links in them?)
We simply set up an sftp server and point buildout at it using the buildoutsftp buildout extension and sftp urls, as in: extensions = zc.buildoutsftp find-links = sftp://private.zope.com/private This provides restricted access with authentication using ssh keys.
Cool. Out of interest, what ftp server do you use for this
The one built in to open ssh.
So I assume the clients just have to be able to have their public key on the sftp server? Do you use specific keys for sftp or do the clients just have shell access on the server?
and how do you build/upload the eggs to sftp://private.zope.com/private?
We build using the setup sdist command and the scp the result to the server.
