Hi all, I have put together some packages for Slackware Linux in the slackware package format. They are tested with Slackware 9.0, but I don't see why they wouldn't run on earlier versions as well provided the proper libraries are present. I was wondering if any one could tell me how to contribute these to the Slackware community as extra packages. I couldn't find any info on their web site about this. For those of you who are interested, the packages I have built are listed below. I have also included info on the programs included in the packages for those who haven't heard of them. acl-2.2.13 (used to manage access control lists under Linux) attr-2.4.7 (used to manage extended file attributes under Linux) courier-imap-2.1.1 (alternative to UW imapd with enhancements such as maildir and virtual mailboxes) linux-xfs-speakup-2.4.20 (Linux kernel source, with the XFS patches and speakup 1.5) maildrop-1.6.0 (procmail alternative supporting a filtering language) messagewall-1.0.8 (an smtp proxy used to filter spam and viruses) nano-1.2.1 (a text editor similar to pico, but with features such as "go to line number" and multiple buffers) I'm also working on these packages: daemontools-0.76 (a collection of utilities for managing daemons) djbdns-1.05 (DNS server and utilities alternative to bind) qmail-1.03 (Mail server alternative to sendmail) ucspi-tcp-0.88 (collection of utilities for building tcp/ip applications required by many of DJB's programs) Thanks in advance for the help. -- Joseph C.
