The server uses that to decide which package to point a client to. You can say "planet url ..." from your client to see this in action. That is, if you use "planet url" from version 4.0 on a package marked for 4.1, you won't get that one back. > 2 - also - does the planet system make use of the 'repositories' value from > info.ss? Yes. It is used as the above, I believe, but also used to control what shows up on the front page (see the link at the top next to "view packages" at http://planet.plt-scheme.org/). > 3 - the package-source url (http://planet.plt-scheme.org/package-source/) > used to be visible with package directories but now it is forbidden.
