Hi! |

The problem with xml is that it's hard to read without a tool, we |
| 4 |
could however easily write such a tool that we use for viewing those |
| 5 |
files. So I'd say that an xml-file describing the package would be |
| 6 |
nice since it can then be used on the web for browsing available |
| 7 |
packages. |
