Aminet has its own Wiki now: at http://wiki.aminet.net you'll find manuals, FAQs, information about the team and Aminet's history aswell as our changelogs, todo lists and bug 'database'. The section covering Aminet's usage urgently needs more info added though: if you'd like to help out with creating a nice user manual covering archive formats, the tools required to handle them, various ways of transfering archives from a PC to the Amiga, using an FTP client etc. - get in touch with us, please.
Several new directories have been created, amongst them misc/os, which is intended for operating systems and updates. The first uploads to this directory are "Amiga Minix", an open source Unix like operating system for Amiga 500, 2000 and 3000 computers and the final m68k-amiga distribution of OpenBSD. The former was kindly provided by Thomas Unger, while the latter is a mirror of ftp.planetmirror.com and was moved to Aminet because OpenBSD-Amiga is discontinued und slowly gets removed from the official BSD-mirrors.
Other new directories are:
- dev/lib (static libraries)
- game/edit (game editors)
- game/strat (strategy games)
- pix/icon (PNG icons)
We already started to move files into these directories, thanks a lot to James Jacobs for helping out. If you stumble across files that should be moved, don't hesitate to tell us.
Three new mirrors have been added (de5.aminet.net, se.aminet.net and dk.aminet.net), Aminet now consists of seven mirrors - with more coming up. As the question has been brought up several times now: Yes, we do accept big files, a CD iso shouldn't be a problem. For anything significantly bigger than 80-100 MB we'd appreciate it if you would notify us upfront though.
