Yes like node-tap that ship (using manual uscan) one line source code package own-or and own-or-env, or node-function bind that ship one liner node-has > >> It will decrease the load of small pacakge for us and decrease the load of >> ftpmasters > > If so, could you clarify exactly how this would help ftpmaster?

The number of line of code to review will increase but the number of package under 1ko will decrease. And i think it is easier for you to review a tar.gz decompressed, than to reviewing copyright of patches (usually small package are added with the help of patch). That why I said, it will simplify your work. > Indeed, it might even be additional work for all as, for example, > problem with (eg.) component 14 out of 27 might would delay the entire > thing and cause confusion about exactly which package one is referring > to at any point in time. I understand, but it will reserved to only really small package like the node-is-odd that sit in the NEWS queue (that could be I think rejected) . This kind of package could be merge with the rdepend with no loss of generality. We could not get upstream to be (censured), but we could try something on your side.
