I hate it when that happens.

I'm sure some web wizard knows how, but not me.

https://contrib.texlive.info/ lists the *names* of the current set of
contrib packages, but I thought (ha!) that I could go to the git repository
and browse, to see if there was more information about the packages than
their names.

So I guess I don't *need* to go there, but that is why I tried.

Thanks for getting back.
