No.  Your package is quite easy since I addded it to the regular mirror
configuration.

The homepage and url files are helpers so I can find the original
site for the package.  There is also a file regexp in some directories
that restrict searches to certain files.

Yes.  I'm trying to keep about the last five version of a package and
then remove older ones.
