If these packages might be useful to someone then they should each have a corresponding package record in ecos.db which includes details of their status. Otherwise, even regular eCos users may not be aware of their existence. If no-one cares about these packages, I suggest we remove them from the repository for reasons of consistency. John Dallaway
