From 481f709ceba803288289da8e11a52d309d0fc9a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Blake Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:23:42 -0700 Subject: build: mention ftp redirector in release announcements Now that http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/PACKAGE/ redirects to a nearby mirror, we should promote its use in release announcements. Meanwhile, mention the mirror list. * top/maint.mk (gnu_rel_host, url_dir_list): Provide defaults for values that used to come from cfg.mk; mention FTP redirect URL. * build-aux/announce-gen: Mention the mirror list. Suggested by Karl Berry.
