This means that special "generate > info file" logic can safely be removed from setup, I think. There isn't any in setup right now :}. I like the regex approach, I don't like the triggered download of this package. IMO it would be better to spit the dummy and reject the package if it doesn't have some other well-known file (ie if it has any .info file, it ust have a /etc/setup/postinstall/foo.sh that includes a call to install-info) This is obviously harder to do, but I think will give better results - on bandwidth and list questions - long term. What do you think? Rob
