Ah, thanks for the clarification. > - feel free to do this > now as it seems you are interested in it - you can consider this bug > (like many other wishlist bugs) as tagged as "gift" [...] I don't know if I will be able to find the time for doing this: I am not familiar at all with APT internals and code base, hence it would take *much* longer to me than it would take to one of the deity team (not counting that I am *not* a supernatural being like you members of the *deity* team!). > > Some hints: [...] Thanks for the hints, but they sound rather obscure to me. Until I get to study APT implementation, I am afraid I won't understand much of what you wrote! ;-) > Feel free to contact the "team" (aka Michael, me or deity@ in general) > if you have interest, any questions, need help or just want to talk. :) OK, *if* I find the time and decide I want to implement this new feature by myself, I will definitely get in touch with you for help. But anyway, I would be *much* happier to see it implemented by more knowledgeable people (so that the risk to break the entire apt package is minimized!).
