I've pushed a new script, which uses the text versions (and adds the licence information as comments). Should it download directly from CTAN? From mirrors.dotsrc.org? Ask for a mirror?
If mirrors.dotsrc.org works, that's probabely nicer - though I doubt we create any significant load.
Mirrors.dotsrc.org works; I've changed the script. (Look at the beginning.)
As for the way to inform the user, see attached patch, which will let "make install" (and friends) print a message. Comments?
Nice, but most users will get precompiled packages from their distributions.
How is the other work on the release going on? What is still missing?
I started a couple of times to add some lines to the man page that explain how to get and install the pattern files, but never came up with anything good. Should we copy the lines from your patch below?
How many people compiling dillo from the tarball are actually reading README and the man page?
At least the man page get's installed with most binary packages. I tried to include some info about the pattern files and how they can be downloaded - please give it a review. Also we would need to install the install-hyphenation script, so that it becomes part of binary packages. If we do that it would have to be renamed to dillo-install-hyphenation or something like that. Does this sound ok? Cheers, Johannes PS: For me the documentation issue for hyphenation patterns is the only thing left before we could make a release candidate, or am I missing something?
