Lynn, Good idea, but I think XML meta-data would be the preferred format. This would allow parsing by many different programs. Maybe the filename should be /var/lib/lrpkg/pkg.xml instead of pkg.desc. We still have to agree on what fields should be included, and their names. Also, I'm still concerned about the keywords and categories. How will we define them for each package?

Aren't they different names for the same thing? David's example (developer.rtf) had a revision of 1, so I included the -1. If there was no revision, shouldn't his example have used 0? This would have resulted in a version of 1.20-0 (aka 1.20). -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf-project.org/ _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
