- Linux Software Map Entry Template Release: 05SEP93
- =============================================================================
-
- Synopsis:
-
- The LSM is a directory of information about each of the software packages
- available via FTP for the Linux operating system. It is meant to be a public
- information resource. All entries have been entered by volunteers all over
- the world via email using the template below. New versions will appear
- first on sunsite.unc.edu and will be announced in the newsgroup
- comp.os.linux.announce . Discussions pertaining to the LSM will be held in
- the newsgroup comp.os.linux.help . Any questions or comments can be entered in
- comp.os.linux.help or sent to me directly at jeffk@msen.com .
-
- Instructions:
-
- Any new packages or updates to old entries should be entered in the template
- below and sent to jeffk@msen.com (Jeff Kopmanis). Each release of the
- LSM will have the current template as part of the package. Any changes to
- the template will be made and released there.
-
- *PLEASE* use the entry template below when submitting information. It has
- been designed so that all you have to do is fill in the blanks and send it
- in as is. Your entry will be read into the database directly from your
- email response with little if any hand manipulation.
-
- DO NOT RENAME FIELDS. DO NOT REMOVE THE BEGIN OR END MARKERS. Please pay
- attention to the field lengths listed to the left of the field names, as
- any text beyond that length will be truncated. If you use some of the new
- fields, be sure to use the newer Begin2 keyword to start your entry to
- save me a few headaches and file editing.
-
- Complete as many fields as possible. As of the 05SEP93 version, you don't
- need to keep blank fields around, but I strongly encourage developers to
- complete all the fields, as its more descriptive. Make any corrections
- that are necessary. The initial data came from a variety of sources,
- and is not at all assumed to be correct.
-
- Once you have completed the documentation as best as possible, email the
- modified version of this file to: jeffk@msen.com
-
- Thank you VERY much for your time and enthusiasm. Your contribution will
- help to ensure that the Linux Software Map will continue to be a trusted
- Linux resource.
-
- -Jeff. :) (jeffk@msen.com) (Jeffrey J. Kopmanis)

- ============================================================================
- Changes in 05SEP93:
-
- No field lengths are needed in the actual template entry. I've got the lengths
- in the field description section of this document.
-
- You can leave fields out. If they're blank, leave 'em out.
-
- Expanded fields: 5 lines of descriptions, 4 lines of required, 2 lines of
- copypolicy, 4 comment lines, 3 lines of relatedfiles, 4 site/path/file/size
- groups.
-
- Site, Path, File and Size are now separate fields. Also, there are 4 possible
- site/path/file/size groups allowed. This should cover just about anything.
-
- Author and email have been split up.
-
- Entered and Enteredby have been split up.
-
- PkgName and Last3Rel are gone.
-
- Things that were 65 chars are now 80. In general, areas that didn't have
- enough space were expanded to hold what was coming in.
