Andreas J. Koenig [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] quoth: *> *>I'm not arguing for changing the format but to optimize it for what we *>are doing. The most urgent points I would like to see addressed are: *> *>- List of and checksums for all files in the distribution, Could you elaborate on this a bit? What is the checksum good for, where would it be stored and could it be obsoleted by a cryptographic signature? *>- a signature *>- a list of namespaces used within the files that are being installed *> by this distribution *>- a list of version numbers I'd like to see a the dependancies and possibly a list of 'categories' and a unique catalogue number for each that would be assigned on upload. What else would people like to see besides author, email, name, version, url, signature, dependancies....??? e.
