Alex,

This was not part of the proposal.

This was the intent. David wanted to use the .desc information within a
running LEAF release/branch. The .desc file wasn't intended for indexing
a package repository exclusively.
Note: our package maintainers didn't use the proposed .desc file.
Note: that only three of our project members participated in the
.desc proposal thread.

That is correct. We don't have shell access to the cvs server.
You misunderstand what I'm trying to do. The indexing will be performed
on an export of our packages tree on the shell server. Did you take a
look at my daily.sh script in my devel/mhnoyes/sf-admin directory in
cvs?
Sequence of events:
1. Package maintainer commits a package to our bin/packages tree in
cvs.
2. Daily cron job runs on shell.sf.net
a. _current_ packages are exported from cvs.sf.net
b. packages are indexed
