I understand that, been there done that. You mentioned the requirement of the
main distro. What if you want to have multiple deliverables,
distros or specialized
appliance images delivered out of the same repo. Won't it be nice
to have a way
to tying package revisions to releases of those as well. A separate
tagset will
make that possible, instead of this:
pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.97:20080905T010753Z
