You are the second person in the last two days to ask this very same question. I'll be the third. Why is it that the package URL is not listed, but only the location where it *should* be? I'll take a guess and it is because as the packages move to updated versions, the maintainers sometimes move the older ones to different directories. But this still doesn't make not listing the original *good* URL the right thing to do. If the original package download URL becomes broken, then the download location will *also* be broken. So, why not just list the package URL? -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 15:01:01 up 113 days, 25 min, 3 users, load average: 0.49, 0.12, 0.07 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
