[Ralf Wildenhues]

Hello,

As mentioned in
, and
reported by Karl Berry, I'm changing the back-cover text in the Automake
manual, HEAD and branch-1-10.

Cheers,

Both texts look incorrect to me.  The GNU Standards say

| If the FSF does not publish this manual on paper, then omit the
| last sentence in (a) that talks about copies from GNU Press.


BTW I finally defended my thesis yesterday (tuesday).  I'm off
to Slovakia until the end of the week, but when I'm back I hope
to be able to commit some time to automake.
