Hi Hadley,
Per Murphy's law, hours after uploading the freshly minted 2.1.8 that you
released while I was hiding under a few rocks at UseR!, I got the following
bug report from fellow Debianer James. He has a point, and I am wondering if
you guys could include the manual and xml.pdf in the sources ? [ As a
historic note, I used to ship some of the old xgobi papers in a -doc package,
but I'd rather not go there. And the website is great for adding new papers,
dynamic docs and whatever you dream up. ] But a manual, methinks, outght to
come with the sources.
Thoughts?
Cheers, Dirk
PS The website gives 404s for the CPL and GPL links. You may want to fix that.
