Comment 1 Dave Anderson 2006-01-20 16:47:54 UTC
Hmm.  It's been like that forever, and nobody's ever noticed.

The problem is that even if the %release were appended,
the upstream version on the people.redhat.com/anderson site
will probably have been replaced by a later version.  Maybe
the URL should just reference the ftp directory without the
tar.gz filename.  Don't really know how best to address it...

Comment 2 petrosyan 2006-01-20 16:52:37 UTC
most of the other packages in Fedora either put URL to the homepage of the
project or link to a directory that contains the tar.gz files

Comment 3 Dave Anderson 2006-01-20 16:54:35 UTC
Ok thanks -- whenever the package next gets updated, I'll
do the same.


Comment 4 petrosyan 2006-05-27 13:30:32 UTC
this bug has been fixed in crash-4.0-2.26.4.i386.rpm
