A week ago I created a git dub package index at 
https://github.com/skoppe/dub-packages-index it gets updated 
every 15 minutes by scraping code.dlang.org

I use it to feed my registry-mirror, which is now fully standalone

A possible next step is creating a PackageSupplier class in dub 
that clones and uses this repo for resolution.

If I was aware of Sönke's work I might have skipped it, but it 
was a good exercise regardless.
