right, native packages are an exception...

You mean show repo? I don’t see Tag: there, but "darcs show tags" ought
to be sufficient for that.

Great! Especially nice given that the regular PET does not work ATM.

We have a script that sets up the commit mails, we can add this command
to the script, and also run it for all existing repositories.

Can we modify the categorization? For example, „newer upstream version“
tends to be not so important for us, a blue cell in the last column (as
with PET1) is sufficient. 

Greetings,
Joachim
