Would it be possible for the package generation process to check for this and abort if the .info file isn't correct?
Am I reading correctly that you just volunteered to write this patch?
If you do this, be sure to fix this first:
"provide feedback to owners when there are errors packaging releases"
sadly, there's no mechanism right now whereby the packaging script can propagate errors back to the release owners. if anything goes wrong, the package just doesn't get created and the release node remains unpublished.
Um, do we even have to worry about the packaging script? Couldn't we just check the correctness of the .install file at CVS check-in time? It's possible to provide feedback at that point, and we do know which repository the commit is being made to, as well. Or am I missing something really obvious? ..chrisxj
