Thanks. I'm sick of all these download URL probs. I'm going to do a single pass of that file and update all URLs to that of the respective programs homepage/download page/ftp folder. Freshmeat is invariably out of date, and can cause confusion (e.g. m4), and usually just links to the project's main page anyway. Let's save our users some pain and just point them there directly.

Matt, do you want me to merge the changes that I have in multi-arch to alleviate this problem.

comment:3 by Matthew Burgess, 20 years ago

Sure, that'd be great, thanks. Just leave the bug open and assigned to me though, I'll review the change when I get back from work, and close the bug then.
