Whether on spohr or merkel, doesn't make a difference. What seems like it should be possible would be automatically running the "dak examine-package" tool and providing that output on a public webpage for other people to review. That currently uses neat markup that colourises things for less, so presumably isn't tremendously compatible with the web though. Presumably someone could change that if they were so enthused. (Personally, I'd consider a patch that gives examine-package a --html-output option pretty good evidence that someone's got enough m4d skillz to be made an ftpassistant, others mileage may vary) Cheers, aj
