I think the problem is that ibiblio has two styles: - all 1.0 packages in fdpkg format thrown on one big pile and taken from the 1.0 distro - various packages in more-or-less fdpkg format sorted nicely by category which is probably what Usul saw The latter are sometimes "as sorted by the author", just for mirroring them, sometimes the author already put them into almost FDPKG format... but for some reason we never seem to keep "specially packaged for FDPKG / FDUPDATE" style ZIP files at any easy to find location, alas :-!. Of course the 1.0 big pile of packages is "easy" to find for SOME people, but: It is ONLY the exact 1.0 versions, no updates since then. And: It is only 8.3 file names and everything in one very big directory so you typically do not easily find that file in that directory with google. Maybe we could put FDPKG/FDUPDATE-packaged zips of the current versions on ibiblio, too, not only into the repository of FDUPDATE? Of course we might have to mark the packages to make clear that they are not as in the original arrangement as they were on their own homepages.
