Hi Tarek, There's one final field that I think that we need and that's to be able for a software releaser to specify a code-repository feed source.
It's different than a download url, which may point to a software 'release'. The code repository is a changing feed source for software updates and is most likely to be cvs, svn, bzr or hg based link. In this way, it makes it possible to have package updating in place to keep python code up to date, if that is the users wish. Of course, it is up to the user to install whatever SCM system that is necessary for the update function. The value of the code-repository field would be prefixed with cvs:, svn:, bzr: or hg: or whatever SCM prefix is used. It should never be allowed to be a http: or ftp: link. What this allows a user to do, is more easily install code from the various software repositories that we find dotted all over the internet these days. They're more fluid than 'download' links and better suited to the distribution of 'code', as in python code.
