Dear all,

How do you 0launch an interface which requires a mix of source and binary
implementations to be selected? Plain `0launch` only uses binaries,
`0launch --source` only uses source implementations. Consider a
mixed_interface.xml with an implementation which requires both interface1
and interface2. The former only has binary implementations, the latter only
has source implementations. How do I 0launch mixed_interface.xml such that
a source implementation of interface2 is compiled and its resulting binary
implementation is selected along with a binary implementation from
interface1.

This is useful for PyPI to 0install feed conversion. Without this, hosting
of about 0.5 to 1TB of binary implementations would need to be found for it
to work.

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,

Tim
