Even if we had such an API, enforcing it as a requirement for a package's inclusion in GNU ELPA -- otherwise, most packages would probably ignore it = -- would be rather heavy-weight. Further, the result would likely be a large volume of information for you to ingest. I don't see the cost/benefit ratio adding up for an API like this. =2D-=20 John Wiegley GPG fingerprint =3D 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGcBAEBCgAGBQJW8uGdAAoJEMFE2PTxn+Ywbx0MAILSaFK08+UM6Vt+5WvQ1+OD +C5mEpLcNdtpw+S7gRxgl909QANYGVid/2UYPSc39Fj3YzdZVGxtvCktevjSude/ zrYnuolUwihpQPqEcfESXlibdjYRxveQGEhi16btwsatE52sGvQAwwPebduw6f+Q FDQSL0yzKg+Byy6fec+s9jnj02nAQSvxaZoWqvm0AgRqDleSGE5TB6f7M/g70kMU ll904k/SWGoD1Xvzwy7pXaHB2S6MaejiwoCiQnP1cB77Gho2i5ragdpShBuJpyns kqWxJFUPrNMG6rbh0JoX1yvkvncdoDRQbImljNxn2Cv9FG5fb7cxZ7MbIt/q54c3 zz3L8nP0xtE7DwOJ8ntKWGRtBCsm05zz5CGYkDR6GyrD/NceM90TIBRKGSY31Hn9 mr20ZrTOmYwkc+nP0BK5UOieHhi14RiJaGCSh4BW3mKxeJrB0LZoQwc3ImeKVJnb 8Pu051o0Ih0DlK5YFvNAeUfwTM79hgJfSHRlRoln0A== =0l6o -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
