As i understood Holger and Phillip, those linkes are not used by the existing package managers. If there are no users, then nothing should break, right ? Of course, breaking things is a bad idea and I don't want to push for that (migration is much better), I just wondered whether this would be a low hanging fruit to clean up the /simple/ index pages a bit. Is there a tools that scans those non-distribution file links from the package descriptions ? -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Mar 01 2013) >>> Python Projects, Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope/Plone.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::::: Try our mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
