I agree that packaging Contents files is impractical. Too much disk/bandwith/man work usage. However i think that it would be good to have some package (let's call it grep-contents od maybe debian-contents) that would automatically connect to debian serwer, check if there is new wersion of Contents-* file(s) (main/non-US, architecture - it could be configurable) and download that new version. It would contain grep-contents program which (analogous to grep-dctrl) grep Contents files. It could be configured to run daily/weekly/on ppp-on > close this RFP (if you do always want the current Contents-* files you I would prefer to change rfp title, but not close it. What's wrong with open rfp? -- Piotrek irc: #Debian.pl Mors Drosophilis melanogastribus!
