Package: maint-guide
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
Current New Maintainer Guide refers to the autotools tutorial at
http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~adl/autotools.html . A newer one, from Diego Elio
“Flameeyes” Pettenò, is available from
https://www.flameeyes.eu/autotools-mythbuster . I believe it's useful
to mention that one too.
Attached is a patch against today's maint-guide SVN (revision 10227).
Thanks, Bye,
Joost
