Hi again,

Thanks for the clarification!

so basically, to decide between parsing fields of the control file or
parsing a separate file, both probably being obtained from our VCS
repositories, and if we want the information to be presented to the user
on our websites, we need the input of those who would write the parsers
and follow their advice ?

Have a nice day,
