--- Comment #5 from Vicki Pfau <vi at endrift dot com> --- I have a proof of concept patch that I can attach here or submit to the mailing list if you think the xattrs approach is a good way to go. Alternatively, a metadata directory could be added under each buildid for per-file info, which would work in the absence of functional xattrs, but be slightly more complex.(In reply to Frank Ch.

I did, and in comment 2 I already explained why I think it's a bad idea. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
