I was thinking we could have a generic FTP updater (ratherFTP-with-signature updater). It would match packages whose source isfetched over ftp already, or packages that have a special 'ftp-urlproperty, say.
How does that sound?
In the meantime your 3 patches LGTM. You can definitely apply #2 and#3; as for #1, I think it’s fine, and we can always remove it when wehave a more generic updater.
Thanks!
