| Well - that'd be the minumum thing to do... although one could think

| 
| Personally I think things that could go into a database element are:
| 
| a.) Program archives ( user chooses: gzip / bzip2 / pgp signed )
| a2.) current version
| b.) Description of the program by author (if nothing else available
| 	take from lsm)
| c.) Needed software to compile
| d.) Official homepage of program (if any)
| d2.) Author's contact email for questions
| e.) Packages this program has been assigned to
| f.) Comments by other users

d3) Mailinglist (if any)
d4) faq (if any)
