- Well I've started on a ported software list. I wouldn't even call this a
- first draft. It's really so we can decide if the format's right and get
- people to start making submissions. If you've ported any software to
- 386bsd then fill in the form below and mail it to me. If you think there
- should be other fields in the form then let me know.
-
- Persoanlly, I'd like to see the packages get installed at ref.tfs.com so
- that if people see something they want in the list they can try it on
- ref.tfs.com and know that the package they get from there will work as
- specified. The maintainer entry is an attempt to mirror the
- /etc/workgroups file at ref.tfs.com, this may change when things get
- more organised.
-
- I've also said I'll produce a work in progress list. If you're currently
- working on porting software, developing new drivers or fixing kernel
- bugs then send me the details. I've had some replies but there are a lot
- more people that I know have taken particular areas of the system under
- their belt. I told Lynne about this and she also thinks it would be a
- good idea to get a list like this done and to use it to organise
- appropriate categories for new work. Draw up a form something like the
- ported software one, including anything you think is relevant. When
- I've had enough replies so that I know what people think should be
- included I'll draw up a standard form for that too.
-
-
- Here's the blank form for submitting ported software details. The
- ghostscript entry below, from me, shows how I'd like to get them.
