Hi Ben and others,

thanks a lot for the bug report.  This kind of QA checks are really
welcome.  I'm just building the package and will upload with the fixed
homepage.

Please note that using code.google.com is also problematic since Google
has teared down this service and we can not know how long that page
might exist as well - but for sure it is better than a 404 page for the
moment.

But this uncovers an even more general problem:  Omictools seems to
be down and all our links on the tasks pages are pointing to some

   This domain name has been registered with Gandi.net

page.  If there is no immediate fix we should probably stop exposing
OMICtools entries at all.  Or is it just the duckduckgo-search
workaround to address those pages?

Kind regards

     Andreas.
