+Ok. So at this point (where we do a find to get the files), what's the
+good approach: just leave the package/build out of the list if we
+can't get its name (that's the new behaviour in my pending new index
+page) or fix the find to get all? I'd say the former.
+
+Two others things that are aside this very point:
+
+* we could gain more insight over the whole submission/build process
+if we could store data about way past builds (not necessarily the full
+details of each build, at least not right now, but at least the
+basics: when, who, what package, how long it took on which host, what
+was the result). One way to do it would be to have a database in which
+we can push and update info about each submission, as it happens
+(today, everything is only in the filesystem). What control points
+would need to be modified to push information into such a database?
+
+* today, submissions are shown simply by src package. Should we show
+submission results per arch? (what if i586 passes and x86_64 fails for
+instance).
