Hi, some questions/things:
1) I just noticed that <http://pdb.finkproject.org/> yields an empty page. Couldn't this be made to redirect to <http:// pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/> ? 2) Would somebody mind if I changed the PDB package page (i.e. package.php) to put the description inside a <pre> field? This way, descriptions that use formatting (like <http://pdb.finkproject.org/ pdb/package.php/advancecomp>) would be rendered correctly. Given that we limit the width of the Desc* fields, this shouldn't cause any serious problems, I believe. 3) Also, I was wondering... wouldn't it be nice to have a somewhat more powerful PDB? In particular, having a browse.php which allows to list all packages (like list.php now does), but you can impose restrictions: Pick a distribution, pick a tree (stable, unstable, testing), choose a maintainer (free form field is sufficient, really), and a category, and whether you are only interested in binary packages or not -- or any combination of these. So it would combine the functionality of section.php testing.php, list.php, maintainer.php. Is anybody working on something like this? Should I file a feature request, and start working on it? Am I missing something fundamental? Is the earth a disc or a ball? Bye, Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
