Two small things. One, DESCR is a little narrow. 80-ish columns would be better. > MASTER_SITES = https://github.com/alif-type/mada/archive/ We prefer "/releases/download/" URLs if they exist, and one exists for this port (Mada-1.3.zip on the releases page). The reason is that "/archive/" tarballs are generated on the fly and do not have stable checksums. With those two small changes, this is ok with me. -- Anthony J. Bentley
