[lsb-discuss] Please make LSB download directories display the full, untruncated names of tarballs

[Kurt Pfeifle]

Today I was (again) poking a bit around 'LDB-si'
(http://www.linux-foundation.org/docs/lsbbook/si-setup.html).

Man, are all those infos confusing me! I reckon, there is not much one
can do about this but read-read-read and grok-grok-grok until everything
is understood at least to the degree where I can ask reasonable questions.

However, here is one thing the admins of the LSB download section could
do for me (and others). Have a look, for example on this directory listing:

http://ftp.linux-foundation.org/pub/lsb/bundles/released-3.1.1/dist-testkit/

Can't you make it so that I can read the complete names of the packages?
It is of little use to just see...

[   ] lsb-dist-testkit-3.1..> 03-Apr-2007 09:08  100M
[   ] lsb-dist-testkit-3.1..> 03-Apr-2007 09:08  123M
[   ] lsb-dist-testkit-3.1..> 03-Apr-2007 09:08  146M
[   ] lsb-dist-testkit-3.1..> 03-Apr-2007 09:08  108M
[   ] lsb-dist-testkit-3.1..> 03-Apr-2007 09:08  108M
[   ] lsb-dist-testkit-3.1..> 03-Apr-2007 09:08  111M
[   ] lsb-dist-testkit-3.1..> 03-Apr-2007 09:08  108M
[   ] lsb-dist-testkit-man..> 03-Apr-2007 09:08  312K
[   ] lsb-dist-testkit-man..> 03-Apr-2007 09:08  349K
[   ] lsb-dist-testkit-man..> 03-Apr-2007 09:08  323K
[   ] lsb-dist-testkit-man..> 03-Apr-2007 09:08  327K
[   ] lsb-dist-testkit-man..> 03-Apr-2007 09:08  320K
[   ] lsb-dist-testkit-man..> 03-Apr-2007 09:08  327K
[   ] lsb-dist-testkit-man..> 03-Apr-2007 09:08  326K

...with me needing to hoover the mouse pointer above each link and then
look at the status bar to identify each package fully. I'm sure Apache
allows to *not* truncate the full names of directory listings....
