They just don't have index pages. So the https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:*/ are deliberately providing links that can not be used for anything useful, such as seeing if any files have been updated (new dates/times)? Is there some way to give enough notice to likely avoid the kind of message that I sent? Otherwise people will continue to be astonished by the result and ask about things appearing to be broken. Also: Is there another way to check on the status of future pending updates to the files (new times)? === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
