I don't see the original indexing report in your e-mail, but I think we might be talking about the following code. https://pause.perl.org:5460/svn/pause/trunk/cron/mldistwatch It appears (at first reading) to get @$pmfiles from filter_pms() (which applies the no_index) and then refers to 'provides' only if there are no @$pmfiles. So, provides is completely ignored in most cases? The 'provides' key does appear again in packages_per_pmfile(), but I'm lost as to how we got there (though I suspect the @$pmfiles would have caused a skip by then and it appears to only be consulting provides as some kind of namespace (simile()) conflict resolution scheme at that point.) --Eric -- A counterintuitive sansevieria trifasciata was once literalized guiltily. --Product of Artificial Intelligence --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
