Hi,

here are some suggestions for new tags for the set files:
 
author:	<who has originally written it, e-mail address>
		only for information
portby:	<who has ported it, e-mail address>
		only for information
exec:	<this line will be executed by /bin/sh -c>
		mostly needed by some self installing tcl/tk programs or for automatic
		registration via email after installation or ..., ...
ldesc:	<additional description e.g. for installation>
		place for some installation informations for programs which need some
		additional configuration
ftpsite:	<the complete path to retrieve the set in the following form:
		hostname:path/file
	e.g.	ftp.ph.kcl.ac.uk:/pub/acorn/RiscBSD/sets/foo.set
		this could be used to check whether the local or the remote set is 
		newer. If the one on the ftp site is newer a automatic download will
		be performed before installing the set.

These informations might be usefull for e.g. a X-based installation program.
Does anyone still develop one ?
It could be implemented in tcl/tk or in C with SUIT as toolkit.



Ciao, Peter
