Hi.
While hamm was unstable, I used this `sget' ("source get") script
#!/bin/sh
wget --retr-symlinks ftp://favourite.mirror/pub/debian/hamm/hamm/source/$1/$2_*
to get the "most up to date" source of any package by simply telling the
section and the package name.
I would like to change this to slink/slink (or slink/main), but if there
are no symlinks, I will be unable to use this script, or it should have to
be rewritten in a strange fashion.
