Date: Wed, 10 Jul 1996 07:13:10 -0700 Message-ID: <4007.837007990@time.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk OK, I fixed the permissions on ftp.freebsd.org:~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-incoming and it should be possible for people to actually upload stuff there now. :-) It's also been pointed out to me that there are a lot of things in freefall.freebsd.org:~ftp/incoming which might well deserve a spot in the experimental or commercial distributions, but I'm afraid that I'm having a bit of trouble telling the wheat from the chaff. :-) If you've got something in freefall's incoming, maybe you'd like to consider uploading it to wcarchive as well? Uploading conventions: The convention is to create a subdirectory for yourself under experimental or commercial (which will be renamed to "xperimnt" and "commerce" for the CD) and put your files under that directory. Each directory should have a README file and at least one distribution file. If your distribution format is a tar file, name it "foo.tar" or "foo.tar.gz". If it's a FreeBSD package, name it "foo.tgz". This will make it easier for the user to guess just what to do with your distribution file if they're the impatient non-README reading type. :-) All filenames should be kept 8.3 compliant (which is why tarballs or packages are a good idea) so that a user may load your software via a DOS filesystem, should such be necessary. I'll be checking for submissions in these directories right up until Friday afternoon, so you've got time to do this but not TOO much time so please don't leave it to the last minute! :-) Jordan
