Oh, the script is already there. The old Distrib/Misc/ used an ePerl embedded script for this. I've just to adapt it for the new Contrib area. I'll do this today. Thanks for this suggestion and also thanks for your coding offer, Ohilip. Ralf S.

ANNOUNCE: User Contribution Area
Today I've spent the whole afternoon to create a special service for you which is a little bit unusual. But because I think it serves the needs of the mod_ssl user community I've established it - treat it as an experiment. Under http://www.engelschall.com/sw/mod_ssl/contrib/ a new subarea was established which is directly linked to the top-level navigation bar. Here contribution files for mod_ssl are placed. Currently it's only the old stuff from the Distrib/Misc/ area, but know comes the goody: You can maintain it _yourself_ through the following (chroot'ed ;-) FTP area which is directly linked to the above Web area: ftp://contrib:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/sw/mod_ssl/ This way people like Manuel J. Galan [EMAIL PROTECTED] or others can upload their packages theirself. There is currently not much free disk space, but it should be enough for mod_ssl related packages. I hope no one will exploit this service (warez traders, etc.). When this should happen I feel free to remove the service, of course. Or at least remove the non mod_ssl related files. So, please be friendly and use it only for mod_ssl related files. And please let us know through this list when you uploaded interesting stuff. Thanks. PS: Manuel: I've accidently removed your RPM packages while fiddling around with this new area. But that's no problem. This way you're the first tester for this service. So, please upload your RPM packages again, but this time to ftp://contrib:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/sw/mod_ssl/ Thanks. Greetings, Ralf S.
