Thank you for the suggestions. I agree, the whole system is somewhat
confusing, especially if you take into account that the packages can also be
updated from the maintainers webpage. I did my best to explain how it works:

We did try to move all the json to one place, however some of the developers
prefer GitHub, others BitBucket or SourceForge. It's very hard to convince
