Hi everyone,

we are using nexus for various repositories and cache and it was never a problem until now. We have added a hosted pypi repository. Pushing packages to the repository works and they are listed when browsing via nexus. But the simple index url does not seem to update (for days now). It only appears to update when i delete a package.

I have not found any cache settings for hosted pypi repos. Also “rebuild index” does not refresh the simple index. I am using the default blob store.

I have not found similar issues on the internet, thus any help is greatly appreaciated.

regards,  
Philipp

See here: [https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-19303](https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-19303)

A patch is available on that issue which will fix this.
