I therefore still believe that version dependency information should move out of external indexes and into packages.
This is at least the intuitive place for this information. My application requires Grok 0.11, which requires zope 3.4.0b2 which then would be a package that doesn't contain any code, just requirements of eggs that in turn has requirements of their own. I'm not even sure this *is* different from how the unices does it, but it just seems the obvious way of doing it. I would be interested in knowing if this has drawbacks.
Meta-eggs are considered a bad idea in the Python world. I originally wanted to create a meta-egg, but Jim convinced my to use a different approach; hence the index.
