We archive alt.sources here. It is not very clean, nor very
complete. Not very clean because, as everybody pointed out, there is not
a consistent policy for package naming in alt.sources. Not very complete
because we are in France and that we have some difficulties to receive
*all* the articles in a given newsgroup (alt.sources or comp.lang.c ...).
Furthermore, we don't spend time to sort the redundant postings
or version evolution. If a name is already taken, we differenciate by
appending a number (!). For instance you will find unzip.Z, unzip.old.Z,
unzip2.Z and unzipbsd.Z. And you have no way to find out what are there
differences.
This is far from ideal. But our goal is not to spend hours
to order this directory. We just expect to find what was posted on alt.sources.
Here is the the system entry for the archive site
followed by the content alt.sources archive directory. The oldest article
saved is about 1,5 year old, I think.
Access : gna Any ACU 1200 FRANCE140351567 "" \r gin--gin nuucp
Description : ~/News (Beware, it is in french. However, it contains
the important paths).
No, there is no FTP entry. We are not that rich :-)
