I think it could be more simple than that. Just base the list on what is |
| 9 |
in the system and world sets. From that it is easy to determine what |
| 10 |
needs to be fetched. It won't be a 100% match for what will actually be |
| 11 |
installed but I think it will be close enough. |

Sounds like a good plan to me, at least to try it out. Whether it will |
| 18 |
really work in practice is something to be found out. At least using |
| 19 |
Gnutella solves the problem of having to keep running trackers all the |
| 20 |
time. I have good contacts upstream as well so let me know if you need |
| 21 |
anything there. |
