[comp.unix.amiga] Mailing list vs archive

rhealey@digibd.com (Rob Healey) (06/03/91)

	I just want to clear up that svr4-ports is a mailing list ONLY.
	There is no archive site at this time and I don't have the
	resources to provide one. Hopefully someone can provide an archive
	site soon. I'm pretty sure C= will be providing one in the not too
	distant future when ported sources are gathered together.

	Anyways, svr4-ports is ONLY a means of touching base on who is doing
	what so that multiple people don't waste their time doing the
	same thing. The next step will be to fingure out exactly what
	IS ported and gather it at an archive site. It will probably
	be a SOURCE archive site since all UNIX systems come with the
	development package.

	Additionally, uunet seemed to have gotton amnesia over the weekend
	and forgot what it's own name was, half the mailing list bounced
	back to my machine, QUITE a mess. B^(. Since the list is still
	shakey could all of you who have ported programs
	please send me a list of the programs at: rhealey@kas.helios.mn.org.
	I'll gather the list together and
	summarize it on the list and here. Hopefully someone can provide an
	archive site for it all at that time. I've received quite a few
	requests for where code should be placed and where the archive site is.
	Looks like it's time to set one up as soon as possible.

	So, who out there has the disk space and resources to handle an
	Amiga UNIX archive site? At this point it looks like UUCP access
	is as important as FTP access, no more BITFTP kids... B^(.

Just check at ab20, with all the Megs (Gigs?) of more or less useable 
software, there should also be room for `our' unix sources...
