I am severely negligent in getting some things done in BLFS. I
apologize for this and starting tomorrow will work to correct
these things I've put off for way too long now (getting new folks
access to commit).

What you don't understand Ag, is that all the CLFS devs who I thought
could help the BLFS project were asked to help, but all denied.
Some said they wouldn't mind being set up for commit privs, but
not to count on any help from them (Ken being an exception in that
he said he would try to help out).

I've always thought that there should be some reference to the project's
home page for each of the BLFS packages. And for most we do, simply because
the download URL for most of the packages contain a reference to the base
URL. For those packages that the download URL is different than the
package home page, then yes, a reference would be acceptable.
But it seems if someone is going to spend that much time, that time
would be spent wiser doing actual updates to the book instead of
adding a minor enhancement that may not be of much use to anyone.
However, if someone made a patch that included some home page URLs
(first a format would have to be determined how we want to do it),
it wouldn't be turned down.
