Description

This article is from the AmigaUUCP FAQ, by Marc SCHAEFER, with numerous contributions by others.

1.2) Usage Of

[Note: Original author is Matt Dillon. See next comment]

The purpose of alt.sys.amiga.uucp is to convey the bulk of any discussion relating to AmigaUUCP. Discussion, bug reports, questions, etc...

The purpose of alt.sys.amiga.uucp.patches is for the posting of any source code, scripts, or binaries relating to AmigaUUCP. Full distributions will NEVER be sent over alt.sys.amiga.uucp.patches. Anybody may post to alt.sys.amiga.uucp.patches and, in fact, it is best that any code you wish to submit to be merged into the master distribution that Matt Dillon keep be submitted to this newsgroup instead of to me personally.

This will allow anybody to pick off the code and immediately implement it on their own system without waiting for the next master distribution.

Matt Dillon will also use alt.sys.amiga.uucp.patches to post updates to the current master distribution, generally small to medium sized SHAR or uuencoded LHARC files. Matt Dillon personally would like to get a system together so multiple-source postings can be archived in a text form instead of a uuencoded form because all netnews is compressed anyway, and compressing uuencoded lharc files generally makes the result larger than the original instead of smaller.
