Yeah, I understand that at this point it is all about the installer. In
deed I wondered if maybe one or the other fix could go into FreeCOM,
didn't know about its sad state.

I see. Well, I found it the most interesting part to hack on :) Will set
up a repo somewhere with my patches on top, so they are around and
accessible.

Thanks! That means the bug can really be closed now.

AFAIK, the online Software List (.LSMs) is indeed "read only" at the
moment (and has been for several months).

I'm not sure there's enough time to squeeze every last bit into the
upcoming release. It's basically finished, AFAIK. I think it might be
wise not to get our hopes too high to cram literally every fix in
there, instead preferring a (long-term) 1.3 release for anything
further (especially to lessen pressure on Jerome, who has enough on
his plate).

Not official, no, not that I'm aware of, but anything by Jeremy
(PerditionC) is probably semi-official since he's a major contributor.

Either is okay, but eventually someone (me?) will have to grab them
and put them elsewhere. FreeCOM is a bad example since it's fairly
complex and nobody seems majorly interested in maintaining it.

So, for example, I did manually mirror two patches (setp, shift) to
here, just so that they wouldn't be lost / hard to find / unknown
(lacking any better, more perfect, solution):

The new MODE release wasn't formally announced (nor to me), nor did I
get any .ZIP to disseminate. So I only propagated the tiny patch.

But now that I see the .ZIP, I've mirrored it to the traditional place
(and symlinked it with release date in the name for clarity):

Some of the stuff on the current site is out dated. I think that mostly Jim has 
been working on the new site and keeping the old one in static mode. I could be 
wrong. I haven't been following that aspect very closely.

The new 1.2 repo creates HTML pages for the packages automatically. These 
should be crawled by google (sooner or later). So, should be searchable. Just 
check somewhere between page 300 and 400 of the results to find it. :-)

I see, so it is not in its own folder [1], but luckily it is already in
the 1.2 repo. Thanks for the heads up!

So, Bug #142 could be closed.

I am sure that I have already sent that to people taking care of the
new distro such as Jerome, so I wonder at which point the release of
this MODE update got stuck... Who knows?

Jerome, Jim, Rugxulo, Wolfram, Bernd: You are all invited to receive
another copy of MODE2015.ZIP (2015-11-25) but I would swear that one
of you already made an IMPROVED version of the same file which is a
bit more accurate in terms of package structure. Maybe YOU can send
ME a copy of that again? :-)

Ah wait, it already is online, but at a place which you will NOT FIND
with some obvious search terms, unfortunately! The locations linked
from the LSM software list all still have the old version online :-(

http://ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.2/repos/base/

Enjoy the updpated MODE from the 1.2 repository, Wolfram :-)

Cheers, Eric
