| This is a test release of this package. |
| Please do not send reports about this release to any |
| GNU mailing list or newsgroup. |
| |
| A few notes on this particular release: |
| |
| * If upgrading from a previous test release, you must remove all the |
| old installed m4 files; their names have changed to fit into the 14 |
| char limit. These files are ordinarily in $(prefix)/share/aclocal. |
| |
| * The `missing' program is still not in use, pending |
| |
| * The `acinstall' program is distributed but not used; I still must |
| write the internal support for it. This is the program that will be |
| used to install macro files for aclocal. |
| |
| * The documentation needs more work. For instance the macros that |
| come with aclocal are not fully documented. |
| |
| * Right now the generated Makefiles will print the commands used for |
| (eg) installing, no matter how ugly. These commands give no |
| feedback as they do their work. It has been suggested that these |
| command be made invisible (using "@"), and also print something as |
| they work (eg "installing foo as /a/b/foo"). I'd appreciate |
| feedback on this idea, especially if you have particular reasons for |
| preferring one over the other. |
| |
| Please send comments and problem reports about this test release to |
| tromey@cygnus.com -- ignore the bug reporting addresses given by the |
| programs and in the documentation. |
