planet proxy/mirror ==> Re: [plt-dev] Fwd: [plt-scheme] Download links in PLaneT

Hi all,

I am getting close to have a working implementation of a planet proxy, and I
can make a release once I can resolve/implement against the following
questions:

1 - does the planet system make use of the 'required-core-version'?  I was
able to install a package marked for 4.1 (via the planet edit metadata page)
from PLT4.0.   What should the behavior be in such case?

2 - also - does the planet system make use of the 'repositories' value from
info.ss?

3 - the package-source url (http://planet.plt-scheme.org/package-source/)
used to be visible with package directories but now it is forbidden.  This
page provides a point for a crawler to mirror the packages.  Can we make it
(and the children path) visible again?

Thanks,
yc
