Hi Petter, I like the idea. One of the policies for new tags, is to have at least 6 or 7 packages that would use them: https://wiki.debian.org/Debtags/FAQ#What_makes_a_tag_good_for_being_added_to_the_vocabulary.3F Could you make a list of packages that would fit? It would also help initializing the tag data so that we don't have tags matching no packages. If we still don't have so many packages for those tags in the archive, you can use devel::lang::TODO implemented-in::TODO for the time being, or given how well defined are those tags and how cobol is a historically well established language, we could make an exception. I would still prefer not to introduce tags without associated packages, though. Enrico -- GPG key: 4096R/634F4BD1E7AD5568 2009-05-08 Enrico Zini <enr...@enricozini.org>
