A small FAQ to the Husky-Project @end direntry @node Top, convent, , (dir) @top huskyintro This document is a small FAQ to the Husky-Project. Written because the FAQ from Markus Mandalka is a little outdated, very small and only in German.

There are many ways to get the newest Version of the FAQ. @c -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= @subsection Using CVS If you have access to the Husky CVS Server then you should take a look at the huskybse-Directory. @subsection Using the Web. The latest and greatest Version is always available via @uref{http://cvs.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/cvs2, Web-CVS for Husky}. Just download the latest huskybse*.tar.gz @subsection [Debian]: Using apt-get Not yet available, but in the near future their will be a Debian-Package with all available Doku and example Configurations for Husky. This FAQ is included there. @node contact, contribute, get, general @c --- Only for good things, no bad please :) @c --- Other Authors (if there will be one :) ) just add your @c --- Contact Information. @section How to contact the Author(s) ? You can reach me via Fidonet at 2:2435/109 or in the Echo @b{FIDOSOFT.HUSKY}. You can send a email to @email{joerg@@goliathbbs.dnsalias.net, Joerg Jaspert}. @node contribute, contribute2, contact, general @c --- What ? Someone has a new Question for the FAQ ? @section How to contribute to this FAQ ? If you have write-access to the Husky CVS Server just use this. If not send an email to the author(s). Look at the previous question. . @node contribute2, whatis, contribute, general @c --- Uhh, someone without cvs Access wants to send a patch ? @section How to contribute to one of the Programs in Husky ? At the very first make sure that you are using the latest version of the program. A patch to a 2 Year old version is not very useful. :) After this take a look at the Team-Page available at @uref{http://husky.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/team.html,Husky Team} to find the email of the developer for this program. Then use gnudiff or something similar to create a diff-file and send this with a few words to the developer. If you have more than one patch or you want to do more work with some programs you should write a email to Tobias Ernst and ask for write-Access to the cvs-Server. @node whatis, hardware, contribute2, general @c --- Yes, what is husky ? :) Husky's are DOGS ! :) @section What is the Husky-Project ? The goal of this project is to develop a complete freeware suite of Fidonet applications, running under Linux and other multitasking/multiuser systems. The suite should be comparable to now existing (and partly commercial) OS/2 systems. Most of the software is GPLed unless otherwise specified. To keep the configuration simple and reliable, all applications should use one set of configuration-files. @node hardware, , whatis, general @c --- Here i NEED help, cos i only have Debian on an x86 ! @section On which Systems does Husky works ? It works on every System you could get the source compiled with gcc. I @i{think} it will work on every system which has a gcc, but i only have a Debian GNU/Linux on x86-Hardware. @node fidonet, , , Top @c === Some Fidonet related things. @node programs, , , Top @c === Many subsections with husky-programs related bullshit :) @bye
