Requirements for uploads and uploaders
**************************************

- Please to *not* upload modified sources of freely distributable programs
  here!  Send them to the authors instead so the changes will be
  incorporated in the next release.
- To make it easier to remove or replace packages, it would be good if packs
  would fit in a single directory each, indicating package and version by
  its name. Again, all those package-directories should be put in one
  single directory, I prefer "/usr/local" for this. This would mean to
  shuffle some things around in the tree:

  /usr/X11R5					-> /usr/local/X11R5
  /usr/local/emacs				-> /usr/local/emacs-19.25
  /usr/local/lib/perl, /usr/local/bin/perl	-> /usr/local/perl-4.036
  ...
- Packages consisting of just a binary should place them into a public
  directory (/usr/local/bin) where all such binaries are collected. Candidates
  are e.g. bash, tcsh, ... Corresponding manpages to into /usr/local/man.
- Packages that have only one or a few binaries but many other files should
  be placed in a subdirectory below /usr/local, with links in /usr/local/bin
  pointing to those binaries.  This way, users have to include only
  /usr/local/bin into their search path.
- Additional thoughts could be spent on a pkg-system as under SVR4 or
  Lin*x, which automates and simplifies the installation process (I think
  of wu-ftpd-2.4, where it would be necessary to modify /etc/inetd.conf).
  For now, use the EasyInstall-scripts.
- Please add a readme-file. This file should consist of a header containing
  several keywords (some of which may be ommitted). The ReadMe-text itself
  is separated from the header by a single blank line (which can be left
  out by itself if there is not ReadMe-text but only a header). The 
  following keywords may appear in the header:

  Author: Name and email-address of the program's author
  Uploader: Name & email-address of the file's uploader
  Descr: A short description, which can be longer than one line, the 
  	following lines have to be indented by tabs or spaces.
  Keywords: Any keywords you'd like to mention, will be searchable by
  	search-engine (not yet, RSN!)
- Place your uploads on ftp.uni-regensburg.de in /pub/NetBSD-Amiga/incoming
  and send me (<hubert.feyrer@rz.uni-regensburg.de>) mail about it.


So much for now.
