I committed a Readme file and a patch against Makefile.common based on Thomas' work. It is currently nearly untested but I will fix it later if problems arise.

Since the Release Notes are architecture specific I loop about all architectures to create the PO file. After coding I noticed that po4a seems to ignore conditionals, so the loop can maybe removed :-(( > > - Could you add some documentation?

I asked Joey to install it but forgot mentioning the Etch version. Jens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
