Hi all,

GNU Stow 2.1.1 is now available for download from

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/stow/

and also from the mirrors[1] as soon as they catch up.

This is a minor release which fixes a couple of installation issues
and improves some of the documentation.

Stow is a tool for managing the installation of multiple software
packages to a shared run-time directory tree (e.g. /usr/local) via
symlinks, whilst keeping the files from each package separate. =A0Whilst
it has often been used to manage system-wide software installations,
it also provides a clean mechanism for managing software and
configuration files in users' home directories[2].  More information
is available at the homepage:

=A0 =A0http://www.gnu.org/software/stow/

Below are the headline changes since 2.1.0 (see the ChangeLog for full
details).

* Changes in version 2.1.1
** Fixed bug where ./configure --with-pmdir=3DX was ineffectual.
** Calculated the correct default value for pmdir based on the local Perl i=
nstallation.
** Fixed some automake issues (thanks to Stefano Lattarini for spotting the=
se!)
** Improved various bits of documentation.

Happy hacking,
Adam
