(2008-03-27 20:26:23) kanzure: fenn: Neighborhood wireless ;)
(2008-03-27 20:26:26) kanzure: Anyway, where were we?
(2008-03-27 20:26:55) kanzure: I took a look at your spec for the file format
(2008-03-27 20:27:01) kanzure: and am somewhat confused as to what you were intending for this to be
(2008-03-27 20:27:09) kanzure: it looked like a dependency specification system for self-replication
(2008-03-27 20:27:16) kanzure: rather than a package format for general materials and tools for skdb
(2008-03-27 20:27:32) fenn_ [n=pz@adsl-76-252-191-250.dsl.bltnin.sbcglobal.net] entered the room.
(2008-03-27 20:27:40) kanzure: fenn_: you alive?
(2008-03-27 20:28:02) fenn_: yes. we'll see how long this lasts
(2008-03-27 20:28:06) kanzure: heh, same here

(2008-03-27 20:28:29) kanzure: for example, at one point you refer to materials
(2008-03-27 20:28:40) kanzure: but wouldn't that be more like a way to specify other ID numbers of other packages?
(2008-03-27 20:29:10) fenn_: the difference is that materials tend to go away over time
