Installation Improvements

Updated installation guidance for exotic-wheels hosted packages.

Previous documentation recommended using:

pip install uv-ffi -f https://exotic-wheels.github.io/

While this can work in certain cached or direct-link scenarios, --find-links (-f) is not intended to behave as a scalable multi-package package index.

The recommended installation method is:

pip install uv-ffi --extra-index-url https://exotic-wheels.github.io/

--extra-index-url properly integrates the exotic-wheels PEP 503 index with PyPI and allows pip to:

  • resolve packages through per-package index pages

  • fall back cleanly to PyPI

  • avoid flat-index scaling issues

  • work reliably across fresh environments and machines

  • avoid cache-dependent behavior seen with --find-links

  • --find-links remains supported for direct wheel pages and local wheelhouses

  • HTTPS is required for proper pip index integration

  • Documentation was updated to reflect the correct long-term installation workflow
