The 0.3 version is more or less totally obsolete.

You need to really go into deep details here. You're using LXR, so I
guess there's some kind of source tree you want to be presented by a
web server.  So lets start there. Is it *one* version of sources, or
more than one version? In either case, where is it located? Did you
simply untar one (or more) tarballs of released sources?

What is "a directory listing" in terms of content? Do you have a
screen shot?  For what it's worth, it makes a lot of sense to also
place a simple index.html file into the LXR directory that points to
the "source" binary. This is what actually "makes up" the sources and
inserts hyperlinks et al.

"no problem" can be described as there's a reasonable amount of data
in some database?

"$v" lists all versions of your source releases you want to present.
For the Linux kernel, things like "v0.01 v2.6.0 v2.6.20" might make
sense. Of course there might only be one single version.

defversion is the initially selected version (choosen whenever a
visitor accesses the site for the first time and didn't choose an
alternate version.)

If the directory listing contains a "source" entry, please click on
it.
