I'd like to make a lot of the sources I've acquired in alt.sources and the various comp.sources.* groups available in the near future. However, none of the ways that I've come up with for presenting the files has particularly thrilled me. So ... How do you handle archiving these groups? Do you have a magic shell program that captures the detailed description to a file for closer examination? (I would like to see all replacement gettys with an accurate one-line description, then based on the description, I'd like to be able to examine those detailed versions for one or two that caught my eye.) How do you handle patches? Do you apply them? Or do you tar them up with the original distribution file? Is there somebody who you think does this type of thing particularly well? What's particularly annoying for me are these little C programs that I've picked up --- they have the potential to be a life-saver for someone who needs that routine, but how do you make up a useful list of these things? Anyay, the archives might not be available here for a while. But it seems like this should be of general interest.
