2017-01-14maint: modernize URLsPaul Eggert
A lot of this is converting http: to https:. Also, gmane went away, so remove URLs that no longer work and are not easy to figure out what they were. Some of this stuff is so old that it no longer matters anyway.
2015-01-31doc,maint: fix use of "i.e." in documentation and commentsBernhard Voelker
To align with all other places (and correct grammar), change all upper-case "I.E." to "I.e.". Furthermore, ensure that "i.e." is followed by a comma. Finally, ensure to use a double-space before "I.e.," at the beginning of a sentence. The following was used to change all offending uses (apart from old ChangeLog files): $ git grep -liF 'i.e.' \ | xargs sed -i \ -e 's/I\.E\./I.e./g' \ -e 's/\. \(I\.e\.\)/. \1/g' \ -e 's/\([Ii]\.e\.\)\( \)/\1,\2/g' \ -e 's/\([Ii]\.e\.\)$/\1,/g' * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_uppercase_id_est): Add new rule. (sc_ensure_double_space_after_dot_before_id_est): Likewise. (sc_ensure_comma_after_id_est): Likewise.

2010-03-19doc: make README-prereq more genericJim Meyering

* README-prereq: Now that we require automake-1.11.1 update the instructions from getting it from the git repo
2009-12-30maint: improve the info about $PATH in README-prereqPádraig Brady

2009-06-03doc: adjust README-prereq instructionsMatěj Cepl
* README-prereq: Mention new requirement on automake-1.11, with its new location and updated dependency on autoconf-2.62.

2009-04-02doc: adjust README-prereq instructionsJim Meyering
* README-prereq: Reverse order of -b/--track options. Pádraig Brady mentioned that is required with at least git-1.5.3.6. Invoke automake's own bootstrap script.

* bootstrap.conf: Require at least automake-1.10b. * README-prereq: Mention 1.10b, not 1.10a.
2009-03-12maint: mention Autoconf version required to build AutomakePádraig Brady
* README-prereq: coreutils currently requires an unreleased version of Automake, so mention the minimum version of Autoconf required to build that. Suggestion from James Youngman.

* README-hacking: mention XZ utils * README-prereq: Add a FIXME comment.
2008-10-22Add better checks and docs for build toolsPádraig Brady
Prompted by a report from Ed Avis: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/14710> * README-hacking: Organise LZMA and Valgrind as as optional requirements rather than in their own sections. Mention bootstrap will now check tool versions. * README-prereq: Make a start on specific instructions for optaining build tools. Currently we just have notes for Fedora linux. * bootstrap.conf: Add the list of tools and versions required. * bootstrap: Add the logic to check for the required tools, and list all required tools and versions if any are missing.
