You might be facing some of them too. For example, it is usually easy to find the name and the version of a package, by cutting the full name at a dash preceding a numeric character, but not always, because some version strings contain alphabetic characters and package names contain dashes. I had to examine package.ent to find all the version strings and take some actions for the cases where the version strings contain letters. Also, there are some varations in the book on the way download addresses are given. For example, I have not been able to find a way to automate the download of all the tarballs in openjdk.
