(policy 5.6) However, in real life we would need to standardisize it, if we want a script to extract the info... About the same amount of work would be to creat a new file (maybe called webinfo), that would include the extra info wanted for the web pages. (Homepage, upstream author, source retriaval point). Webinfo should be included in /usr/doc, so that users can find the info on their own page and so that dwww can support the new file format. Riku Voipio
