This applies to Maybe I didn't succeed to make me understood: I do not wish automatising to happen for my packages. As for providing the stuff which serves me to package it's on my to do list since an eternity; it's quite easy to do as the work is under source control --- sorry I don't use SCCS... --- unfortunately my ISP doesn't provide a SCM access to the system running my web site. When I'll have the time and the money --- viz. energy --- I'll do the necessary actions; until then you can snapshot my home directory. -- Peter _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
