Hi all, I wrote a script to find out the packages whose homepages cannot be found. An HTML version of this list is at: http://abhidg.mine.nu/arch/urlcheck-fail Most of this list comprises Perl packages, whose URL can be fixed (usually) by prefixing a ~ before the username, like: http://search.cpan.org/RHOOPER/HTTP-Lite to http://search.cpan.org/~RHOOPER/HTTP-Lite ------------------------------------------------------ # List of packages whose homepage # could not be spidered using the command: # wget --spider --tries=1 --timeout=30 $url # All results were then manually checked. # started: Thu Oct 9 05:29:34 GMT 2008 # finished: Thu Oct 9 07:07:07 GMT 2008 daemons/hula emulators/qemu-launcher games/blobwars games/chromium games/hex-a-hop gnome/gnome-ppp gnome/nautilus-audio-convert gnome/nautilus-share kde/kdvdauthorwizard kde/mtaskbar lib/net6 lib/obby lib/perl-algorithm-annotate lib/perl-algorithm-diff lib/perl-app-cli lib/perl-authen-sasl lib/perl-cgi lib/perl-cgi-session lib/perl-class-methodmaker lib/perl-color-calc lib/perl-convert-asn1 lib/perl-crypt-blowfish lib/perl-crypt-simple lib/perl-curses-ui-poe lib/perl-data-hierarchy lib/perl-data-structure-util lib/perl-datetime-event-ical lib/perl-datetime-event-recurrence lib/perl-datetime-format-ical lib/perl-dbd-sqlite2 lib/perl-dbi-shell lib/perl-file-path-expand lib/perl-file-type lib/perl-file-which lib/perl-finance-quote lib/perl-freezethaw lib/perl-graphics-colornames-www lib/perl-gssapi lib/perl-gtk2-trayicon lib/perl-html-highlight lib/perl-html-tagfilter lib/perl-html-template lib/perl-html-template-expr lib/perl-http-lite lib/perl-ical-parser lib/perl-io-tee lib/perl-ipc-shareable lib/perl-lingua-preferred lib/perl-mail-box-parser-c lib/perl-mail-transport-dbx lib/perl-math-base85 lib/perl-net-ipv4addr lib/perl-net-ipv6addr lib/perl-net-jabber lib/perl-net-subnets lib/perl-net-telnet lib/perl-net-xmpp lib/perl-object-multitype lib/perl-paranoid lib/perl-parse-plainconfig lib/perl-parse-yapp lib/perl-poe-component-client-dns lib/perl-poe-component-client-http lib/perl-poe-component-client-keepalive lib/perl-regexp-shellish lib/perl-string-crc32 lib/perl-svn-mirror lib/perl-term-animation lib/perl-term-progressbar lib/perl-term-readline lib/perl-test-differences lib/perl-text-charwidth lib/perl-text-diff lib/perl-text-markdown lib/perl-text-vfile-asdata lib/perl-tie-cphash lib/perl-time-format lib/perl-time-human lib/perl-tk-tablematrix lib/perl-www-curl lib/perl-x11-protocol lib/perl-xml-smart lib/perl-xml-stream lib/perlio-eol lib/perlio-via-dynamic lib/pykde lib/python-numarray lib/taglib-rcc lib32/lib32-libart-lgpl lib32/lib32-qt lib32/lib32-qt3 modules/xchat-systray-integration multimedia/gkrellmpc multimedia/gnomebaker multimedia/gtvg multimedia/kungfu multimedia/rexima network/ajaxterm network/ajaxterm-utf8-svn network/gproftpd network/sniffit office/addresses office/ec-fonts-mftraced office/gnuconcept office/gobby system/9base system/alunn system/pinfo system/shaman system/unshield x11/855resolution x11/magickthumbnail x11/terminus-font x11/ttf-inconsolata x11/ude x11/xmove -- Abhishek Dasgupta <http://abhidg.mine.nu> GPG 67972DOF pgp.mit.edu
