Hi all, I did a bit of repackaging work this evening, and added sources to some of the BASE packages that lacked it.
The full list of BASE packages that lack sources is this now: cpidos (not sure there are "sources" for this one at all?) command edlin fdisk help more print The current version of these packages can be found here: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.1/repos/base/ If anyone would be willing to check them out, add sources, and make sure these packages are up to date and features latest translations, I'd be happy to accept fixed packages. Otherwise I will try to repackage/fix them myself, hopefully before 2014. cheers, Mateusz On 10/12/2013 09:52 PM, Mateusz Viste wrote: > That's true - IIRC, there are a few packages in BASE that lack sources > (these are the few packages that I dumped long ago from the FreeDOS 1.0 CD). > I will look into this matter when I will have a moment.
