As I think we currently envision it, yes, he can just post the CHK of the direct version, which will always be that one version. The SVK, though, is the one the user will want if he wants later versions when they come out as well. I don't think we can rely on users for this, but we can certainly take advantage of it--that why, for example, I think a request for and SVK ought to have a "minimum known revision" (or equivalently, an "earliest acceptable insert date"). -- Lee Daniel Crocker <lee at piclab.com> <http://www.piclab.com/lcrocker.html> "All inventions or works of authorship original to me, herein and past, are placed irrevocably in the public domain, and may be used or modified for any purpose, without permission, attribution, or notification."--LDC _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
