Very good!

The whole thing looks quite promising to me -- good work so far! From  
the DB layout side, it seems to be mostly there now. I am not sure  
whether you expect me to comment on a specific thing?

Personally, the next thing I'd do would be to try to cleanup the  
branch -- remove obsolete files (or, in the case of maintainer.php  
etc., replace them with redirects to browse.php). That way it's  
easier for people not yet familiar with the PDB code to help out, as  
they don't have to first figure out which files are used and which  
are old leftovers.

Some specific points (partially from the TODO):

* Could you please clarify these TODOs a bit? What exactly is to be  
done, and for what reason?
- More than one pkg in a release
- Timestamp
- auto_increment of pkg_id vs. incremental update
- check for packages that need testing
- decide what to do with 'htdocs/pdb/db.inc.php' used in header.inc

* The user interface (esp. browse.php) still needs lots of polish,  
but of course this is clear to you, and it has rightfully been  
postponed till until after the infrastructure is complete

* The other points in the TODO seem to be postponable to me. (BTW, if  
it's possible w/o any headache, I'd keep the 10.1 release in there,  
but it's of course not required).



Bye,
Max
