Aminet

[3] Reports of daily additions to this software archive were posted automatically to Usenet (de.comp.sys.amiga.archive), or could be requested as an email newsletter.

Now Aminet is complemented by platform specific sites archiving software for AmigaOS 4, AROS or MorphOS only.

[4] Recognized among interesting FTP sites in early 1990s,[5] Aminet was the largest public archive of software for any platform until around 1996.

This also in a future goal of letting Aminet function as a repository for package management systems similar to Debian's APT/DPKG and Red Hats' RPM.

At the end of 2004 Christoph Gutjahr made contact with Urban Müller and set up a team to continue the Aminet effort.
