I don't know, but while we are on the subject of php syntax weirdnesses, 
here is another one:

If someone happens to go to the old sourceforge pdb address

they don't get redirected to the new address on finch, but they see the 
interesting error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in 
/home/groups/f/fi/fink/htdocs/pdb/header.inc on line 63

The line in question is

try {

Maybe sf's php version doesn't understand try...catch?

don't ask me why, but php suddenly stopped accepting:

~  function insert_sub ($vars) {

...I had to change it to:

~  function insert_sub($vars) {

Not sure why it suddenly appeared though, last time the site got updated
(AFAIK) was last week.  Maybe squid just finally stopped caching the old
one?

Anyways, it's fixed now.  Sorry for the (weird) inconvenience.

I just saw that rangerrick fixed the web site by removing a single  
space after "insert_sub" in header.inc; that makes me curious what  
caused this breakage. On our server such spaces after function names  
don't seem to bother PHP, and it apparently didn't cause problems on  
fink's server until recently. Is there any explanation for what went  
wrong?

Thanks,
Jens

The site is broken. But I consider your message a good sign, because 
before yours I haven't seen any message on any of the Fink mailing lists 
for two days.

I was just going to write to -devel in order to ask if it is just me, or 
if the mailing lists are all dead. Seeing the broken web site, I was 
going to generalize the question to ask if Fink is dead ;-)

It looks like site breakage to me.
