Ok, thanks.

I think this sources web page has some problems:

http://geda.seul.org/sources.html

The problems are:

   1. The HTML descriptions of the things in the packages seem out
      of date, for example http://geda.seul.org/tools/utils/index.html
      doesn't mention tragesym, but does mention gmk_sym.
    
   2. You don't seem to be able to download the packages from here.  The
      link under 'Where can I download the utilities?' leads to the gEDA
      download page, the sources section of which points you back to the
      sources page.  It seems circular.

It might be better to just do like GNU and dump all the available
versioned
packages in a directory and let people sort it out themselves.
