Hello! My name is Janet Casey and I'm working for the Free Software
Foundation assembling a database of free software world wide, which is
why I'm writing to this address. Normally I would not write to a bugs
address about a non-bug problem, but I got a bounceback from the
address i have listed for the maintainer(Jim Meyering
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) so I'm trying this address.
Can you take a quick look through the information I've assembled to
see if everything is correct and if there's anything I should add? I'd
appreciate it greatly.
FYI- a short explanation of some of the fields.
Programs- any additional programs that come included with this one.
Interface- Command line, interactive, X windows, console
Support- listed only if it's something other than mailing list support
Repository- Any CVS repositories where the program is listed
Related- any GNU packages that might be of interest to users of this package
Use Requirements- Required for using the executable
Build Prereq.- Required for building this package
Weak Prereq.- Useful (but not mandatory) to install before building this one
Source Prereq.-
Packages whose source code must be present in order to build this package.
If there's anything you think should be added (particularly
individuals who have contributed) please e-mail me.
Thank you very much for your help!
