The truth is that I really only complained about my problem, whereas you actually solved it for me,
so HUGE THANKS for that ;)
I might also take the opportunity and say that I have learnt a lot from this exercise, and I think
the FAQ has fragments spread out, but there is no short summary of the key roles of the files
CHECKSUMS.md5, PACKAGES.TXT and package_data. It would be nice to have a paragraph with just a few
sentences on how it all goes together. I think FAQ17 and README4 come close but they mostly just
say that these files are needed and less about why and how it works. Perhaps README4 would be a
good place to add a paragraph.
Finally I just remembered that last weekend I was updating one of my local SOURCE dirs and it
occurred to me that it would be nice if I could define my own custom disc set, because then
I could update my boxes using --install-set as described in FAQ18. Jason, if you maintain a
wish list please consider adding this feature.
