Yes, it's been annouced quite often that the website lags behind the
actual contents of the repo. No one is actually really using the
website, or at least not nearly as much as the repo, so most efforts
are spend on the repo contents than the web representation.
After all you do have atrpms(-stable) always turned on in your
depsolver config, right? If not, you're out of ATrpms' support matrix
anyway ;)
