Possibly opening a > page? There are two reasons against that I can think: 1) it isn't under our control. 2) related to (1), we cannot form a URL local to that site that incorporates /. A solution like rbu suggested, pointing to packages.g.o, would be preferable over an external site. Of course we could then liaise with www.unmaintained-free-software.org and post a link on packages.g.o to their site if HOMEPAGE is a reference to packages.g.o itself. :) Kind regards, JeR
