Interesting; I wouldn't have expected that. Most packages work, though?

I just grabbed these with ethereal: GET /debian/pool/main/a/aa3d/aa3d_1.0-2.dsc HTTP/1.1 GET /debian/pool/main/a/aa3d/aa3d_1.0.orig.tar.gz HTTP/1.1 GET /debian/pool/main/a/aa3d/aa3d_1.0-2.diff.gz HTTP/1.1 If you parse the version numbers or grep the ls-lR file you can easily automate it. I don't know that this is preferable to using packages.d.o, but it shows what's happening, anyway. Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
