Sounds like a good idea to add some type of flag to allow delaying when files show up; I'll look into adding that tomorrow and let you know how it works (probably just another $local_conf flag). > Should the project owner have more control over the feed than uploading a > file? For example what does the project owner do if they want official > releases in the feed but not test packages? Filtering wasn't really the design concept; the idea was for a simple feed that shows updated files. Now granted, the feature request was years old (probably before updates.rdf was a supported format for new updates), but it seemed like a good idea nonetheless for users to be able to keep track of what projects were doing. -Doug
