adding:
can the link go to:
http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=drupal_core%3A103&solrsort=sor...

instead of:
http://drupal.org/project/modules

thank you

Well, that was disappointing. I still this would help brand new users when they try to install drupal 5 or drupal 6 modules on their website. I do not have the expertise to write a patch. If anyone else could, that would be fantastic!
thank you,
Dan Silver

I'll have a look, I agree it adds value!

Attached is a patch which does exactly this. It links to http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=drupal_core:103 (D7 modules) instead of http://drupal.org/project/modules

thanks BarisW! Ha ha. Now people won't waste time trying to install D5 and D6 modules on a D7 site. Should we get this into Drupal 5 and 6 also? It seems pretty simple. Thanks a lot!!!

I'd prefer to link to a more permanent URL. http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=drupal_core:103 is obviously variable, and might change in future.

Is there any other way to do this besides using variables?

Patch up drupalorg module to have a more permanent URL. You can't URL alias query variables.

Okay, maybe one of you could add some URL aliases on the drupal.org as a quick-fix?

http://drupal.org/project/modules/drupal7 -> http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=drupal_core:103&solrsort=sis_p...

http://drupal.org/project/modules/drupal6 -> http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=drupal_core:87&solrsort=sis_pr...

http://drupal.org/project/modules/drupal5 -> http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=drupal_core:78&solrsort=sis_pr...

http://drupal.org/project/modules/drupal4.7x -> http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=drupal_core:79&solrsort=sis_pr...

In this way it is possible to redirect to a new location when the dynamic url changes, while keeping the clean url working.

Okay, too bad. Apologies for not reading your reply thoroughly.
Is it possible to make the module page display the modules of the current drupal version by default?

So for now, http://drupal.org/project/modules would display the Drupal 6 modules, while after the release of Drupal 7 it will display D7 modules by default?

I agree. Another advantage to this is that it would encourage module maintainers to update their modules to the current version of Drupal, so their modules are displayed by default.
(sorry for the late reply)
