Sure. We're using it to maintain a local database mapping from object files to symbols. Instead of running 'import-package', it runs a script in lp:pkgme-binary called 'fetch-symbol-files'. That script then fetches the package and updates our own database with its symbol information, if any. AIUI, we'll be using it with a cronjob set up much like the one on package-import.c.c. > It seems to me like we should keep lp:udd about the package importer, and > then split out the functionality you need.

Well, you'd have to add a dependency and manage deployment a little differently, but that's it. jml -- ubuntu-distributed-devel mailing list ubuntu-distributed-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-distributed-devel
