If the index is to be hosted under /some/path/ then, with v 0.1, its necessary
to make some non-obvious manual tweaks to the re-write rules. Also the
--download-path and --projects-path options are ill conceived.
From the package-index-api
- Individual project version pages' URLs must be of the form base/projectname/version, where base is the package index's base URL.
- So lets:
- Make -U, --index-url specify the exact url that should be used
to access the index, including the base/ part of the project path.
- Remove the --projects-path option and instead use the
path part of index-url when generating base/project and
base/project/version hrefs.
- Require a trailing slash on the index-url option, log
an error and exit if its missing.
- Keep the --downloads-path option, and use it when
generating the index local download links.
- use posixpath.join semantics to join the download path
to the project path component of the index url. So a --download-url
that specifies an absolute path (startswith('/')) will produce
download urls that are relative to the site root rather than the index
root.
- Don't support generation of links to other hosts. ie, --download-path
is a path and can not be a url.
- Ensure the appropriate RewriteBase directives are incorporated
into the generated apache Directory and .htaccess configurations.
