Indeed, but maintainers are often not aware. A reliable list of broken SRC_URIs would be useful. Additionally, most SRC_URIs are updated when updating the ebuild; it'd be beneficial to also make sure the SRC_URI for old ebuilds is valid if the file still exists upstream. -- Jon Portnoy avenj/irc.freenode.net -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
