I just checked versiontracker and macupdates, as well as the official 
apple site. Apple has the correct info, and link from 
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/ takes one to 
Lorenzo's site. You are correct however, about versiontracker. But, I'm 
not sure I want sites that look that that, to have my email address. 
One the other hand, I'd be happy to "manually" check in with them from 
time to time and make sure that their information is correct.

Also, macupdates.com does not seem to have any info about grass gis. 
Michael, are you sure this is the site you are referring to?
