Re: [Beaver-devel] Host change and the rewrite.

[Andrea Florio]

If we do not want to add localization support, i do not see any reason
to delay stable release than. it will be my pleasure to do so.

with the new autotools configuration is enought to run into your local copy:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make dist-bzip2

(to build a bzip2 tarball to release)


BTW, please change the nongnu/beaver pages redirecting to the new
sourceforge one.
