I'm working on a pkg for JDE (http://jde.sunsite.dk/), which is a very
nice Java development pkg for emacs. Unfortunately, its URL is
http://jde.sunsite.dk/jde-latest.tar.gz , instead of
jde-2.2.7.1.tar.gz.
Should I just leave the URL like that in the Makefile? If I do, folks
won't be able to retrieve it after the next version bump. I can grab
old versions from their ftp site, but the current version is always
named jde-latest.tar.gz.
I know that distfiles are typically mirrored on ftp.netbsd.org, so am
I worrying too much about this?
