Mailing list vs archive

I just want to clear up that svr4-ports is a mailing list ONLY.
There is no archive site at this time and I don't have the
resources to provide one. Hopefully someone can provide an archive
site soon. I'm pretty sure C= will be providing one in the not too
distant future when ported sources are gathered together.
Anyways, svr4-ports is ONLY a means of touching base on who is doing
what so that multiple people don't waste their time doing the
same thing. The next step will be to fingure out exactly what
IS ported and gather it at an archive site. It will probably
be a SOURCE archive site since all UNIX systems come with the
development package.
Additionally, uunet seemed to have gotton amnesia over the weekend
and forgot what it's own name was, half the mailing list bounced
back to my machine, QUITE a mess. B^(. Since the list is still
shakey could all of you who have ported programs
please send me a list of the programs at: rhealey at kas.helios.mn.org.
I'll gather the list together and
summarize it on the list and here. Hopefully someone can provide an
archive site for it all at that time. I've received quite a few
requests for where code should be placed and where the archive site is.
Looks like it's time to set one up as soon as possible.
So, who out there has the disk space and resources to handle an
Amiga UNIX archive site? At this point it looks like UUCP access
is as important as FTP access, no more BITFTP kids... B^(.
