I don't see anything wrong with this, but couldn't we achieve the same goal by standardizing on a debian/README.svn or equivalent file containing the repository info? You wouldn't be able to see it with apt-cache, but I think anyone wanting this level of information would be likely to download the source package anyway. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
