I didn't get to it last weekend (an 80+ hour week at work) and I'm going
out of town until Saturday for work :-(
My plan is to have individual .tar.Z files for each piece, each with a
README.thispackagename file (whatever...) and also a global readme file.
I sent mail to Peter McDonald of SLS fame offering them for a future SLS
and got bounce city from an autoreply daemon or something.
I'd prefer to have agreement from one of the ftp sites before I go to
the trouble of uploading them. Can the anon-ftp site(s) folks drop me
a line via e-mail here to say if (and if so how/where) they want them
uploaded ?
At this time, we're talking about 3 1.2MB floppies of stuff
for a source-only distribution that includes smail3.1.28 also (until
Ed Carp starts providing it in the next mailpak, at which time I'll
drop providing it).
