so, when I was looking for PPP packages I found that there are tons of
locations for package downloads, and many packages have two or three
versions.

there are two problems with this scenario:
1) It's a PITA to look all over the place for packages. The leaf.sf.net
site is not exactly good guidance since the packages page is empty and
they're all under pub/ which isn't linked from the navigation. No
complaints here, I have a login with write access but I haven't fixed it
either.
2) There is no way to tell the difference between Jacques' SSHD and
David's SSHD and Charle's SSHD. This is because LEAF uses FAT16 as its
filesystem instead of VFAT. I forget, why no VFAT support? Longer
filenames would be helpful.

I'm trying to find useful ways to work with these issues, and have put
some stuff on http://www.monkeynoodle.org/lrp -- the reason being that I
have Zope on this server and the code to generate a page of any
length is:

<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<h2><dtml-var title_or_id></h2>
<table>
<dtml-in "REQUEST.PARENTS[0].objectValues('File')" sort=title>
<tr>
<td>
<a href=<dtml-var title>><dtml-var title></a>
</td>
<td align=right>
Uploaded: <dtml-var bobobase_modification_time fmt="aCommon">
</td>
</tr>
</dtml-in>
</table>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>

Of course, attributes could be set for packager and version as well,
then stuck in with another dtml-var tag. And of course, this sort of
trick can be done with a lot of other webserver package as well. The
problem is that the attributes must be entered manually in Zope, though
I might be able to figure out another angle.

But first, is it an interesting angle of pursuit? My assumption is that
sourceforge.net would be the ultimate host of whatever got done.
