This kind of format is not a problem: I believe it's possible to implement it in the same Python script. For clarity, I'd put these prospective packages in a "wnpp" task file, possibly adding a "Task:" field to point to which task they belong to. This will let me use separate methods for wnpp packages, instead of using heuristics to determine if it's an available package or a wnpp one. > I'm a little but undecided about this.

I believe that the task files should only mention available packages -- prospective ones should be put into a separate wnpp task. > Kind regards > Andreas. Kindly, David P.S.: the update-bugs script now takes a lot of time (about 10 minutes) to complete (the increased number of packages...) -- SOAP isn't that fast (or maybe it's SOAPpy's fault) -- but, hey, we're updating that twice a day, I don't believe it would be a problem to Alioth. -- .
