+Package Servers
+===============
+
+Pysetup supports installing Python packages from *Package Servers* in addition
+to PyPI indexes and mirrors.
+
+Package Servers are simple directory listings of Python distributions. Directories
+can be served via HTTP or a local file system. This is useful when you want to 
+dump source distributions in a directory and not worry about the full index structure.
+
+Serving distributions from Apache
+---------------------------------
+::
+
+   $ mkdir -p /var/www/html/python/distributions
+   $ cp *.tar.gz /var/www/html/python/distributions/
+
+   <VirtualHost python.example.org:80>
+       ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
+       DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/python"
+       ServerName python.example.org
+       ErrorLog logs/python.example.org-error.log
+       CustomLog logs/python.example.org-access.log common
+       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
+       DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm
+
+       <Directory "/var/www/html/python/distributions">
+           Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
+           Order allow,deny
+           Allow from all
+       </Directory>
+   </VirtualHost>
+
+Add the Apache based distribution server to :file:`.pypirc`::
+
+   [packaging]
+   package-servers =
+       apache
+
+   [apache]
+   repository: http://python.example.org/distributions/
+
+
+Serving distributions from a file system
+----------------------------------------
+::
+
+   $ mkdir -p /data/python/distributions
+   $ cp *.tar.gz /data/python/distributions/
+
+Add the directory to :file:`.pypirc`::
+
+   [packaging]
+   package-servers =
+       local
+
+   [local]
+   repository: file:///data/python/distributions/
