Hi all, GNU Stow 2.1.3 is now available for download from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/stow/ and also from the mirrors[1] as soon as they catch up. Stow is a tool for managing the installation of multiple software packages to a shared run-time directory tree (e.g. /usr/local) via symlinks, whilst keeping the files from each package separate. Whilst it has often been used to manage system-wide software installations, it also provides a clean mechanism for managing software and configuration files in users' home directories[2]. More information is available at the homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/stow/ Below are the headline changes since 2.1.2 (see the ChangeLog for full details). * Changes in version 2.1.3 ** New --adopt / -a option This allows plain files in the target to be "adopted" into the package being stowed. See the manual has more details. ** ./configure now checks for Perl modules required by the test suite. Happy hacking, Adam [1] You can see a list of mirrors at <http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html> or use <http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/stow/> which will automatically redirect to a nearby mirror.
