	I already contacted them and they corrected the link, thanks for the  
heads-up!

	On a related note, given that we don't really have useful and  
understandable per port pages, I had to provide them with a link to  
the Portfile through the trac browser, which in my opinion is a  
rather lame solution (though better than linking to  
darwinports.com ;-). In thinking our website redesign in parallel  
threads, this is something we should definitely take into account,  
some kind of a template page that can be dynamically rendered for  
every port with information similar to that of "port info" and  
instructions on how to install it. And yes, I do realize this is  
something we'd be more or less copying off darwinports.com, shame on  
us! But, first off, no one ever said we can't have our shot at  
getting back ;-) And second, the unfortunate popularity of that page  
has proven that such a per-port-page approach is successful, so we  
might as well implement it too.

	Regards,...
