groff, less, ncurses, man and vim are already here on our German
GNUWIN32 site, but termcap, infozip and python are still missing.
So I would like to put them there - space is no issue here :)

Would you like to rewrite your docs on how to build the packages, so
they fit into my package status report ?
Perhaps you already saw it here on the list - if not, here is a
description on how to upload and how to write the appropriate docs:
------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
- how to upload to our German GNUWIN32 site:
site: ftp.franken.de
user: ftp/anonymous
password: <email address>
To get directly to the GNUWIN32 upload/incoming directory type
"cd gnuwin32:" - note the trailing colon.
Please always add a short readme on what you've uploaded.
I'd like best, if the description would follow this format:
----------------------< snip snip snip >-------------------------
*<package name>*
--------------
- system
- <system type, i.e. Windows NT4, Windows 95, ...>
- preliminaries
- <which arrangements to make>
- configure
- <which changes and parameters are necessary for configure>
- make
- <which changes and parameters are necessary for make>
- make install
- <which changes and parameters are necessary for make install>
- notes
- <what else might be interesting to know>
- package availability
- on <site name>
- in <path>
- as <package name>
- contributed by
- <email address (<your name>)
----------------------< snip snip snip >-------------------------
There is no need to tell me, that you have uploaded something,
because I'll get informed automatically.
Please note:
*I will delete anything, which does not look like a useful*
*GNUWIN32 package !*
*So please don't upload any warez, spam or similar garbage !*
------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
And yes, we would like to have *all* your packages here, if they are not
yet existing. Just put them in our incoming directory.
I would move them to .../porters/Jump_Theodore/ then - if that'll be ok.

Of course - enjoy :))

Bye.
