Vivek and others who received false positives, My apologies. This is the number one bug on my list to fix. An unfortunate series of circumstances caused the checking cron job to fail for a couple of days in a row before the email went out, resulting in many more false positives than normal. I resurrected the distfile survey 3 weeks ago, and watched it closely for 2 weeks to make sure that it was running smoothly. In retrospect, the timing was particularly bad, since Edwin's email went out just recently, causing lots of upgrades and upgrades are exactly when the distfile survey gets false positives. The distfile survey is a set of scripts that I first wrote in 1997. As with any 8 year old perl project, it's kind of a mess. It's really high on my list to refactor the code to make it easier to implement bugfixes like this, but I know that doesn't make those who are annoyed by getting bogus warnings feel any better. Bill
