Sure but, 1/ I have never asked for the "Downloads ↓" link either, but the UI did add it, and it's really more ergonomic. 2/ I have never asked for "Latest Version: 0.6.14" on this page : hit ttp://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute/0.6.9 and you also say for 2/ "if you think your page should have links to older releases, you are free to make it yourself already" But same remark: it makes browsing more friendly. And I think a link to packages.python.org/distribute is at the same level -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
