We will probably upgrade it to include support for regex's soon... but time has been short and neither of us have had the motivation to see it get done. ;) You would you do a fuzzy search, any idea's you're willing to contribute? It will already search for any substring of what you put in and I haven't had too many problems. My main reason for wanting regex support is so I can search for things like: mail$ or ^x and delimit the substring when I do searches. > > You can use on of the Debian Package Finders.

Some of you have told me the absolute same thing about hylafax... and... yes, you're right: hylafax was added after my last download of Contents-i386 (about a month old), so I did not have it listed. I made a new download, and there it is. As for ssl and apache-ssl, I downloaded the Contents-i386 from germany, and found nothing. Am I missing something? Is it present, but not listed?

Don't forget to look at hamm (unstable) and at the non-us mirror sites, before you conclude that a package does not exist. I know there are hylafax packages in unstable, and the ssl stuff will have to be on the non-us site.

wanted packages
Is there any address where we can send our "wishes" to debian packages we would like to see created? Is there any address to consult for programs that can't (for any reason) have a .deb package?
