It would be hard to do it in the appserver, though there are always ways, but doing it in the buildd-manager seems possible. I guess by specifying dotted revnos and so on you can make generating the manifest fairly expensive and so risk slowing things down... but not much more than everything else in this system (I mean OO.org is almost DoS in itself :-p) Cheers, mwh _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
