My plan is delete add-import-jobs, and an a POST handler that gets told when there are new packages to scan. add-import-jobs would then move somewhere else (could be the same machine) That's perhaps what you mean by another layer. It's not a priority for udd, but even while drafting this mail there's a conversation going on about another service that would want the same information. We can take what we have from udd and turn it in to an enabler for lots of other useful things. > > I would be worried about the risks involved with changing > > production udd in such a large way at once.

"pkgme can go ahead without caring for udd needs" The easiest way for us to make changes caring for udd is to have prompt feedback about the way it is affecting udd.
