Glad to hear he's ok and taking a well-deserved break. Thanks for the update, Sebastian. **= Email 7 ==========================** Date: Sun, 01 Jun 2003 19:04:10 -0500 From: Jeff Robinson Subject: Candidate packages Hi folks, In an effort to help to keep things moving forwards, I'd like some feedback on how to decide if a package should be part of UnixOS2. Recently Nicholas Sheppard has released a new version of Pine, and a while back I had compiled a newer version of bash (and I'm certain there are probably other ports that I can't think of right now). One basic assumption for inclusion (other than the software package actually working) would be to have it packaged in the UnixOS2 package format... but should we have a potential "staging area" for new ports of the software to make certain we have the latest software available? For a lot of ports that are statically linked, I don't believe there would be too much trouble introducing them into UnixOS2 (unless the output of them broke other applications, such as what a shell could potentially do). In addition to this, I would like to suggest (as I had a while back) about naming UnixOS2 ports with the port name, version and an optional 'ux2' signifier (if it contains a pkgfile). This way, if one has the file out of context (say on their local drive) it is still easy to tell what the file is all about. I'd be interested in any feedback, Jeff -- ---------------- Whatza JamochaMUD? http://jamochamud.anecho.mb.ca Or other stuff: http://www.anecho.mb.ca/~jeffnik ----------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 8 ==========================** Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2003 19:13:57 +0200 From: Holger Veit Subject: Re: List alive?

Was it a bad > rant? Topic of the thread was "OT: Kris rant", about Innotek and their commercial support of gcc-3.2.x/OS2 IIRC. I have it in my archive, but this is not online yet (as usual soon coming :-)). At that time I found, agreeing with John, the topic rather childish (although I didn't comment), and definitely off-topic, but I cannot imagine that John is so thin-skinned to retract completely from the list for such a nonsense. But I cannot read other's minds, either. So, question still stands: what has happened?

His incentive has been the origin of many (if not most) threads.
