I think this is pretty accurate. No point in making it more complex than is required...not to say we can't improve it in the future, but presently we're just getting the functionality we used to have fully automated. > The package browser should be able to display all variants of arch > and catalog, I've always thought that was a weakness with the > current one.

Given what I've seen so far, I think this will require database changes as not enough info is stored. It certainly would be nice, especially as we transition to named releases. Initially though, lets just get 'out of the hole' and moving. Improvements can be made later. > But the most important thing for me is when can we expect catalog > updates again for current?

We need to be able to relay mail out of the cswsign host and that's not presently possible. Maciej: Is there anything standing in the way of doing the unstable->current integration using the merge tool? Can we simply install the new gpg key in cswsign when mail is ready and push changes with the idea that the web and mantis will 'catch up' afterward?
