Contrib D1240417300 Aa #Sources/contrib is a directory in the [sources repository] where #anyone can upload their Plan 9 related software. Things in #sources/contrib are not "officially" part of the Plan 9 #distribution, but are still very useful, they include ports of #various Unix software, documentation, scripts, experimental patches, #etc. # #To get your own directory in sources/contrib to upload your own code #see [how to contribute]. # #By convention, each contrib directory may have a README file, giving #the name and contact information of the author, license terms, or #other information, and an INDEX file, giving a brief description of #the individual elements in that directory. # #The README and INDEX files are used to automatically generate the #[Contrib index] every morning. The README file is formatted for #width and the first 16 lines printed; an INDEX file can contain #entries of the form: #! package_name: Description here. # #Where 'package_name' is a path to a file or directory relative to #that directory. INDEX files in the first two levels of directories #will be included in the wiki index; package_name can refer to files #at any level. # #FGB'S CONTRIB # #Another option is to use Federico G.
