@@ -3,40 +3,6 @@ This is GNU tar.
 This is a *pre-release* version, and not ready for production use yet.
 Please send comments and problem reports to <bug-tar@gnu.org>.
 
-If you have taken the sources from CVS you will need the following
-packages (or later) to build GNU tar.  We don't make any extra effort
-to accommodate older versions of these packages, so please make sure
-that you have the latest stable version.

-- Automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
-- Autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
-- Bison <http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/>
-- Gettext <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>
-- Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
-- M4 <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
-- Texinfo <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo>

-As of this writing, the latest stable version of Gzip is 1.2.4 but we
-suggest using test version 1.3.5 (or later, if one becomes available).
-
-Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> is also highly recommended, if
-Valgrind supports your architecture.
-
-Before building the package, run "bootstrap".  It will obtain gnulib
-and paxutils files from their Git repositories on Savannah.  Then, it will
-fetch the po files from tar page at Translation Project, and, finally, it
-will start autoconfiguration process.  Simply running bootstrap without
-arguments should do in most cases.
-
-Bootstrap reads its configuration from file bootstrap.conf located on the
-top of tar source tree.  Several options are provided that modify its
-behavior.  Run 'bootstrap --help' for a list.
-
-To only fetch auxiliary files from the network, run ./autopull.sh.
-To only generate files such as 'configure', without accessing the
-network, run ./autogen.sh.  The 'bootstrap' script does both.
