There are non-bugfix changes all-but ready. branching is easy, and it makes the RC version numbers distinctive. > Holding off till then reduces merge work, and doesn't hold up development at > all if we create the branch promptly when a non-bugfix does how up.

I throw it open for review then. Personally, with a 110Mb local cache, md5 checking took 18 seconds - from a reboot, so the disk cache was empty. I will *consider* patches to change this. The requirement is: * don't show packages for local install that aren't available. * corrupt package files aren't available. Now, perhaps we should only check the md5's immediately before install, and with the recent changes to not uninstall replacements with corrupt packages, this is a feasible change. Still, I strongly favour reliability over speed in this case. Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://users.bigpond.net.au/robertc/keys.txt>.
