The Modules project page for 4.7.x displays several very old and nonexistent modules.

http://drupal.org/project/Modules/4.7

For example:
"Locale
This module has been comitted to core. It will be included in the Drupal 4.5 release."

To follow with the same example, the Locale module's info page says:
"Download latest release (4.7.0, 21/02/2006 - 03:32)"

On the other hand, some real modules have a wrong date. TAC's "latest release" is dated 28/12/2005, which is not correct.

Can somebody have a look at the list of modules and tell me hich need to be removed?

Is it safe to assume that the ones in the DRUPAL-4-7 cvs branch are exactly the ones which should be in the project page?

Yes. I have no idea hoe the others ended up there.

This is what I found (although this task could be performed much more reliably by a machine).

These are listed in Modules/4.7

file           no cvs project, no tarball
flexinode      cvs exists but not in DRUPAL-4-7, tarball empty
locale         no cvs project, no tarball
localegettext  no cvs project, no tarball
ocs            no cvs project, no tarball
online         no cvs project, no tarball
printpage      no cvs project, no tarball

These are not listed in Modules/4.7 but exist in DRUPAL-4-7 branch (are they tagged 'unpublished' or something?).

Please double-check because the project names are often different in cvs and drupal projects.

The Administration module has a 4.7 branch tag but is not getting built for 4.7. I think it's related to issue http://drupal.org/node/47158

I have unpublished a number of modules that didn't have a 4.7 branch.

there are indeed a number of modules that do have a 4.7 branch but don't show up on the listing. No idea why.

this can't possibly be a problem anymore b/c of the new release system. if anything's broken, let's see a new issue about it. ;)

But you do see why I was going to the CVS and didn't trust the release system back then ;)
