Hi!

What about recent packages of tidy, libtidy, apache2-mod_tidy?
What about fresh new packages of w3c-markup-validator?

For recent SuSE packages and sources of the above programs and 
libraries, please have a look at
http://mod-tidy.sourceforge.net/src/
http://mod-tidy.sourceforge.net/release/
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=142791
http://sierkbornemann.de/pub/tools/mod_tidy/,
http://sierkbornemann.de/pub/tools/tidy/,
http://sierkbornemann.de/pub/tools/w3c-markup-validator/

Unfortunately, 
http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/apache/apache2-mod_tidy/ and 
http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/apache/tidy/ don't longer exist.
I would appreciate, if these packages would find (again) their way into 
the recent Suse Linux.

BTW: I offer a PRPM package of the W3C Markup Validator for Suse Linux. 
After waiting for month, if Suse/OpenSuse is interested in these 
packages, I took the decision to offer them on my own website 
http://sierkbornemann.de/pub/tools/w3c-markup-validator/. The Validator 
dev team appreciates this.
Because I am regulary in contact with the dev team, I have sent a patch 
for the recent W3C Validator, respecting that there now exist RPM 
packages of the validator also for Suse Linux.
I have had the hope, that I could tell the validator dev team, that 
Suse themselves are interested in locating and offering these packages, 
but after month of waiting I have no answer from Suse yet.
As a result, with the next forecoming release of 
http://validator.w3.org/ (Release 0.7.2), Suse packages will be also 
mentioned on http://validator.w3.org/source/ and are pointing to my own 
webspace instead to an official Suse resource (as you can preview on 
the recent CVS snapshot on http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/0.7/source/).
I would have appreciated, if Suse would have paid any reaction to my 
offer concerning the Validator packages.
Concerning the mod_tidy, libtidy and tidy packages, I would appreciate, 
if Suse would update them to the most recent release.
