Subject: dpkg-dev: internals.html has out of date automake information
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 1998 23:15:57 -0800
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.0.20

The internals.html file states the following about automake:

The current version of automake used is version automake-1.1n, which is
currently a beta version. It has several significant advantages over the
released version, ...

automake-1.1n can be retreived from `ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/tromey'


Actually, the current Debian release of automake is 1.2, with 1.2d
available in the experimental directory.  There is no need to
encourage people to download the automake version available from
Cygnus.  Also, retrieved is misspelled.
