Hello,

Some half a year ago I posted the following message to
[email protected]. Since then, nobody from Red Hat, Inc. replied to
the list nor to me directly.

IS ANYBODY FROM RED HAT, INC. READING THIS LIST? THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR
TIME ANSWERING MY QUESTION!

So far, I have tried the following option to contribute to Red Hat
distribution.

* ftp://contrib.redhat.com/ doesnt's sport an /incoming directory
* ftp://incoming.redhat.com/ doesn't seem to have a /libc6 directory
  (while it does seem to haev a /libc5 directory, as of today)
* http://rhcontrib.bero.org/ seems to work - I got some (automated)
  feedback, and it seems to accept my package on Jan 3, 2002. However,
  nine months later this package is not visible anywhere.

With no more than three messages since January this year, this list seems
deserted as well. Is there anything wrong with Red Hat, Inc.? Mandrake
people were happy to grab the package from the provided URL and themselves
changed its Group to fit their hierarchy, within a day or two!

Regards,
Primoz Peterlin

Hello,

Can somebody please teach me the proper way to contribute to Red Hat
Linux? Incoming.redhat.com or upload.redhat.com don't resolve to an IP
number, and rhcontrib.bero.org appears to be a black hole, where packages
get accepted, but never come up anywhere... There is no README message at
contrib.redhat.com telling us the procedure to contribute, either.

Kind regards,
Primoz Peterlin
