Hello,

I tried to remove some build load from BuildService and implemented 
_aggregate instead of _link in some of the things I do. Really nice.

Now a suggestion for the web interface:

a) On the "New Package Link in Project xxx" page add a checkmark
   "No rebuild, file copy only (aggregate)"
   which produce _aggregate file instead of _link
b) On the project page add also for aggregates:
   This package links to the sources of the package 
   xxx of project xxx.
c) On the project page mark the _aggregate file like the _link file is 
   marked in the Files-section.

Why? I think the feature is very helpful, but much too seldom used.
Two main advantages I see:
  - Reduced buildservice load
  - Equal packages versions in the download area for equal packages
    (less user confusion).

BTW: Is reducing the download space possible using softlinks for 
_aggregate?

Ciao
