Just to be clear, I don't fault folks for using the /packages/ urls. I was just trying to get some sort of idea if anyone actually used that url structure or not. I also don't plan on breaking anything for people who do. That being said, do you know if the Debian case requires something to be served at /packages/source/D/Django/ in order to locate a file at /packages/source/D/Django/Django-*.tar.gz? ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
