[rucksack-devel] Enhancements to Rucksack

[John Pallister]

Hi Jochen,

I completely understand. If you could post a few notes to the list
about the approach you've taken, that would be great also. I'm curious
about how you've done this, and how much modification to the Rucksack
internals is required... which is about as close as I've ever come to
being interested in anything to do with the internal workings of a
database or persistent store. ;)

Cheers,

John :^P
