So I'm okay with those. But for other fields, like > Repository-Checkout and Change-Log-URL, I haven't seen a use case yet.
Ok so, if everyone agrees on those two, I am proposing to add for now : - Repository-Browse-URL : url to a web-browseable repository (no distinction whether its the trunk, a branch etc) - Bug-Tracker-URL : url to the web tracker and skip the others, as they seem controversial. I'll post the proposal at Catalog-SIG as well, Tarek _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
