Great work!
Ok so one of the biggest issues with things like these boing bags and updates with soo many places to get files is this:
The links get old, stale and disappear. There are already broken links on the Boing Bag 3 section. Such as the 060 dl for xadmaster. There were others too. It would be nice to merge all these updates into as few files as possible and mirror them in as many places as possible
It would be even better if there was an installer or at least a merged, patched archive of the files to extract over a fresh install. I am assuming that most of the problems with this approach are in licensing?
Can we get the authors' permissions to make a concerted effort and installer? If we have to, we can have two (hopefully that few) archives. One for the quick and simple install it and be done approach and another that contains all the original files linked to on your site and others that may be needed for the finished product.
You can even have the installer request the user to put discs in the drive for proof of purchase for things that come from the Amiga OS 3.9, Amigs OS 4.0 for Classics CDs as well as 3.1 floppies. As much of a PITA as that would be for the installing user.
Goal #1: Make it simple
Goal #2: Preserve it for future use
Goal #3: Get it out there (everywhere)
Thoughts?
