What does 'modified' mean in the Package history?
���� If a package is updated during an update cycle, and there is no new
���� version/revision available, the package will be marked as 'modified'.
���� It will also be marked as 'modified' if the packages files has been
���� altered (DESCR, distinfo, PLIST, et cetera) or if the package was
���� requested for an unconditional update.

Why doesn't the packages creation date correspond with the CVS date?
���� The original package history is not imported, thus the oldest date in
���� the pkgsrc.se database will be the first time it was imported into the
���� database. However, newly imported packages seems to correspond very
���� well with the CVS date.

Why is package 'abc123' missing from the site?
���� If a package is missing, it might be due to it does not build properly.
���� Build errors will probably make the package disappear from https://pkgsrc.se

Can I see all the removed packages?
���� Yes; packages does not get deleted for archive reasons, but a package
���� that is marked as removed will not appear in search results or in
���� category listings. They will appear if you give the full address of
���� the package though (https://pkgsrc.se/CATEGORY/FOLDER).
���� All removed packages is browsable here.
