[comp.text.desktop] Implementers: change file depository

mrd@sun.soe.clarkson.edu (Michael DeCorte) (01/09/90)

There currently isn't any one place where change files are stored;
they are scattered among the machines of the various authors.

This is confusing so I want to set up a depository for change files.
The disk space is easy, so is the archive end but I don't have the
time to keep track of who has the newest change file for xxx.web;
therefore, I need your help.  If you are the author of a change file(s)
that can be stored here at Clarkson than please let me know about it.

version of xxx.web your change file is for (eg. tex.web 2.992):

machine that xxx.ch is for (eg. BSD 4.3):

where it lives and how to get it (eg. on xxx.yyy.edu anonymous ftp in
pub/tex or "I will email it to you")

I would apprete it if the above information was at the top of the
change file and a date or version number.

Finally when ever you update your change files, you let me know about
it so that my archive is always up to date.

Since I have your attention is a top level list of TeX like stuff here
at the archive.  There is a lot more stuff so I encourage you to look
around.  Files are available via anonymous ftp to sun.soe.clarkson.edu
or email.  Email to archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu mail a message
that contains:
