Bredewlow, You have raised a number of important issues. However I think we need to wait until Gordon finishes his proposal he is working on until we start debating again, to ensure that we are all looking at the same set of issues. Otherwise it gets too confusing for everybody involved.
>Why do we have an architecture field at all? I think you will find Gordon has removed this field when he finishes his proposal. >You don`t need to download anything. They would be link farms anyway. >You would chose the directory descibing the selection of release, >arch, os,... that suits your needs best and download that, while >resolving the links therein. Also you could download the links and >automatically download all packages that links point to that you don`t >have already. FTP reorganisation may not be part of Gordon's initial proposal, but one thing at a time, please! (I agree - I may have been at fault for bringing up too many things at once before, however we probably should stop it before it gets out of hand). Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
