I've tracked down audio/snack. The distfile can be found at

No problem! One bit of oddness, though. Can you look at ports like
mail/exact? The author publishes and URL like
http://adju.st/dist/exact/exact-1.41.tar.gz (at
http://adju.st/dist/exact/) but is actually a 302 to insert a session
key. Is there any way to mark something like that as "good" so it
won't show up as red in that list?
