</div></div>After thinking some more, perhaps this would suit you even<br>
better:<br>

<br>
Each version'd directory has a tarball and gpg sig of every<br>
app in the repo for that version (well, they're actually<br>
symlinks, but that doesn't matter from your perspective).<br>

<br>Given that implementing an rsync-like HTTP download would be somewhat feasible, would you admins consider it "polite"? I mean, a single download would imply a truckload of HTTP connections:<br>- 1 for categories list<br>
- 14 for the list of packages in each category<br>- 2100 for the .tar.gz<br>- 2100 for the .tar.gz.asc<br clear="all">Of course, multiply that figure for the number of sbopkg users behind draconian firewalls.<br><br>PS: I'm on vacation from today till July 26th, so I'll reply with a "little" delay. Sorry about that.<br>
