Hi Hrishikesh 1. No, we need to keep information about each and every version of all packages. The whole point is that someone might need to get information about a package that may well be obsoleted by other, newer versions. 2. One would like to have the sources of a specific package. The most safe and future-proof way of having them is to provide the SWHID of these sources, which is a persistent identifier that always points to the correct content. So I expect the database to store this information for each package.
