--- Begin Message ---Package: ben Version: 0.6.11 Severity: wishlist Hi, in bug#747879 I asked to support "ben query" on Packages and Sources files without needing a ben.cache file. On the other hand, ben.cache files are super because if I want to do multiple queries, then ben.cache loads much faster than multiple Packages and Sources files. I currently create a ben.cache file by creating a directory structure containing dists/unstable/main/binary-amd64/Packages dists/unstable/main/binary-armel/Packages [...] dists/unstable/main/source/Sources all of them being symlinks to my actual Packages and Sources files. This works well because curl supports the file:// protocol. But this has the downside that not only do I have to create this directory and symlink structure but also that curl creates a copy of all those files in the cache-dir which I then have to remove after ben.cache is created. It would be nice if it was possible to create a ben.cache file from a number of Packages and Sources files without needing a special directory structure or more than one copy of a file. cheers, josch
