Subject: The new TODO list and a FTP-admin specific question Date: Tue, 19 Nov 91 10:27:48 +0100 From: blum@cip-s01.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (Robert Blum) To: linux-activists@joker.cs.hut.fi Hi Linuxers! I am just mailing to remind you that there still exists this TODO-file. If you have ported anything lately or can help me fill the questinable things, please mail me. Following at the end of the file is the latest release of TODO. But before you start dropping this into the trashbin: All FTP-Site-maintainers with Linux-specific stuff, please read at the end of the mail!! =============== Following is TODO ======================= This files contains the status of several tools for Linux Currently ported projects: Name: ported by: available at bison nicholas@cs.uwa.oz.au tupac-amaru nic.funet.fi flex ?? tupac-amaru nic.funet.fi diff ?? tupac-amaru nic.funet.fi kermit ?? tupac-amaru nic.funet.fi =============================================================================== Projects currently under development: Name: ported by: Remarks c386 blum@messua.informatik.rwth-aachen.de Is working under Linux A cc for this exists Is currently teached ANSI. Any help on this would be appreciated. gawk nicholas@cs.uwa.oz.au Still needs a working mathlib. VFS proven@athena.mit.edu VFS=Virtual File System Will probably out with Linux 0.11 Networking jtkohl@echidna.berkeley.edu Mainly the BSD code Perhaps even ffs =================End of TODO======================= Now the stuff for you site admins out there: What do you think of a kind of mailing list for new sources/binaries? E.G: You get the new kernel code. Instead of installing it directly, you post it to the mailing list, and it will be automatically installed on all FTP sites that have joined the mailing list, including yours. So we could keep the whole archives consistent and thus spread the load. Currently, the host who has it first will have the heaviest load. (But wait, funet.fi is the one to have it first... I think we shouldn't do the list :-) You might even offer the linux community to join this list read-only, so everybody who wants to, always finds the newest binaries in his mailbox. Of course, this depends on a) if you have to pay for mail b) how much you have to pay What do you think about this? Do you like the idea? Please send in any replies/thoughts you have concerning this OK, and thank you for listening Robert Blum
Subject: The latest TODO list Date: Mon, 25 Nov 91 09:21:38 +0100 From: blum@cip-s01.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (Robert Blum) To: linux-activists@joker.cs.hut.fi Hi Linuxers! This is my weekly post (just to remind you that it exists, I get almost no feedback :-() of the TODO list, which is also available on tupac-amaru So if you have any additions to it please mail me. I hope in one or two weeks, there will also be a first FAQ. Again, if you have any ideas what should belong into it, please mail. BTW: Has anyone succesfully crosscompiled Linux under another OS? I tried it with DJGPP under DOS, and I can't get it running. *ANY* help with it would be appreciated.
