Requirements for uploads and uploaders
**************************************
- Please to *not* upload modified sources of freely distributable programs
here! Send them to the authors instead so the changes will be
incorporated in the next release.
- To make it easier to remove or replace packages, it would be good if packs
would fit in a single directory each, indicating package and version by
its name. Again, all those package-directories should be put in one
single directory, I prefer "/usr/local" for this. This would mean to
shuffle some things around in the tree:
/usr/X11R5 -> /usr/local/X11R5
/usr/local/emacs -> /usr/local/emacs-19.25
/usr/local/lib/perl, /usr/local/bin/perl -> /usr/local/perl-4.036
...
- Packages consisting of just a binary should place them into a public
directory (/usr/local/bin) where all such binaries are collected. Candidates
are e.g. bash, tcsh, ... Corresponding manpages to into /usr/local/man.
- Packages that have only one or a few binaries but many other files should
be placed in a subdirectory below /usr/local, with links in /usr/local/bin
pointing to those binaries. This way, users have to include only
/usr/local/bin into their search path.
- Additional thoughts could be spent on a pkg-system as under SVR4 or
Lin*x, which automates and simplifies the installation process (I think
of wu-ftpd-2.4, where it would be necessary to modify /etc/inetd.conf).
For now, use the EasyInstall-scripts.
- Please add a readme-file. This file should consist of a header containing
several keywords (some of which may be ommitted). The ReadMe-text itself
is separated from the header by a single blank line (which can be left
out by itself if there is not ReadMe-text but only a header). The
following keywords may appear in the header:
Author: Name and email-address of the program's author
Uploader: Name & email-address of the file's uploader
Descr: A short description, which can be longer than one line, the
following lines have to be indented by tabs or spaces.
Keywords: Any keywords you'd like to mention, will be searchable by
search-engine (not yet, RSN!)
- Place your uploads on ftp.uni-regensburg.de in /pub/NetBSD-Amiga/incoming
and send me (<hubert.feyrer@rz.uni-regensburg.de>) mail about it.
So much for now.
