It says it mirrors PyPI. Does that mean I can use --index-url rather than --extra-index-url? The latter has some properties that make it less than ideal for private packages.
I assume you're referring to how --extra-index-url means that pip will randomly choose which index to try to install from, potentially installing a public package by the same name instead of your private package?
