[20:22:25] <mcepl> obviously I haven't foiund much love with https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/7257 ... as an alternative, is it possible to have one "blessed" PyPI mirror with limited number of supported packages and (with some configuration option) ability to download package from pypi.org when it is not found in that mirror?

[20:24:30] <ngoldbaum> mcepl: how would the "blessed" mirror be more useful than pypi itself?

[20:24:41] <ngoldbaum> seems strictly less useful if it's missing a bunch of pacakges on purpose

[20:25:02] <mcepl> ngoldbaum: because it would contain supported packages by SUSE certified and supported to work on SLE?

[20:25:04] <mcepl> (for example)

[20:25:13] <ngoldbaum> why use pip at all then?

[20:25:18] <ngoldbaum> you should be using dnf or whatever

[20:25:22] <mcepl> zypper

[20:25:48] <mcepl> because the whole point of that ticket was to be nice to developers who are used to run pip install something

[20:26:08] <mcepl> and with the current state they get unsupported (and quite often broken) system.

[20:26:23] <ngoldbaum> i use pip all the time without breaking my system

[20:26:31] <ngoldbaum> i just put python in my home folder and don't use the system python

[20:26:36] <mcepl> ngoldbaum: awesome, good for you

[20:26:49] <ngoldbaum> if they need to use the system python for some reason, they probably shouldn't be using pip to install stuff

[20:26:54] <mcepl> ngoldbaum: yes, so your experience is completely irrelevant

[20:27:17] <ngoldbaum> ok, i think you're going to have an uphill battle trying to get the stuff you want done supported in pip, good luck

[20:28:12] <mcepl> ngoldbaum: can you imagine there are companies who actually pay for support? If you can, then maybe my idea makes some sense.

[20:28:55] <ngoldbaum> i don't see how that matters from pip's perspective

[20:29:36] <mcepl> obviously

[20:32:03] <ngoldbaum> ok, no need to be rude
