Public bug reported:

full.html has no output.  I made a HG clone of this project and moded
the mirror so that it outputs all package files in way that is suitable
for easy_install's find_links option.  The changeset is here:

https://bitbucket.org/rsyring/z3c.pypimirror/changeset/35c67310f638

Sorry for all the whitespace static in that commit.  My comment from
that commit follows:

-----------------

make full.html an index of all files for all packages

Not sure what it was supposed to do, but it wasn't outputting anything.
Now it is an page that lists all files and is compatible with the
--find-links option of easy_install.

This was necessary b/c I wanted to be able to have a local mirror of
commonly used packages and then have easy_install and pip use
pypi.python.org as a fall-back. This was accomplished for pip by
specifying the following environment variables (command line equivalents
exist):

PIP_INDEX_URL = http://pypi.localnet.com/ 
PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL = http://pypi.python.org/

Unfortunately, easy_install didn't seem to have a way to specify
multiple indexes in the configuration files. find_links was an option,
but it needs the name of the file, not the package, so the current
index.html file would not work. Since easy_install gives preference to
the find_links option, the following settings in a distutils config file
will give the local-first-then-pypi functionality:

[easy_install] 
find_links = http://pypi.localnet.com/full.html
