I released another alpha release (0.5a) of EggBasket and just uploaded it to the Cheeseshop.

This release adds an extended permission checking system that allows you, for example, to have a private package index site on an open network. See the usage instructions on the homepage for more information.

This is still an alpha release because I want to add a few more features before I start the beta phase. The existing features should work without problems, though. Next up:

• Package file deletion through web interface
• MD5 support
• Simple administrative interface

I also hope to set up a trac project site and a demo instance soon.

BTW, the cumulative Cheeseshop download count for all versions and package formats of EggBasket has just exceeded 100. Hooray!
