* README: (Reporting bugs): List the bug-reporting address here, too,
not just in the following more test-oriented paragraph.
Reported by Tim Mooney.
All changes are no longer listed in version-controlled ChangeLog
files, so note that contributions are attributed in the commit logs.
Mention bootstrap.conf, now that it's the authoritative source of
minimal prerequisite program/version# pairs.
* README: Mention that c99-to-c89.diff is no longer maintained.2009-02-21T20:32:17ZJim Meyeringmeyering@redhat.com2009-02-21T20:31:34Zurn:sha1:c980b0566a457f1b9d62354ba16a4c03f94a7c7aadd missing copyright dates2009-02-18T13:07:30ZEric Blakeebb9@byu.net2009-02-18T13:07:30Zurn:sha1:86cef85b3671ed0a14a444eef3b6cb07fa26ee64

tests: avoid spurious "make check-root" failure2008-04-30T21:29:10ZJim Meyeringmeyering@redhat.com2008-04-30T20:50:02Zurn:sha1:e3171c43ebad36ca0746bc625607f87269ff4e73
* README (Running tests as root): Also set PATH in suggested "sudo"
command. This avoids failure of at least tests/cp/cp-a-selinux
when the default PATH does not contain /sbin.
* tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Don't redirect stderr to /dev/null.
"mkfs" was failing due to /sbin not being in PATH.
* README: Remove/convert a few stray mentions of CVS.2008-01-22T23:18:24ZJim Meyeringmeyering@redhat.com2008-01-22T23:18:24Zurn:sha1:3b9b0c5c161e4df0d0b64128241c2d924f70858bUpdate README.2008-01-18T08:26:49ZJim Meyeringmeyering@redhat.com2008-01-18T08:26:49Zurn:sha1:9783d76bf638124c5db5c7d3b4233f86c23ef8dc
* README: Remove a note about failing tests on SunOS 4.
On Mac OS 10.5.1 (Darwin 9.1), you'll need --disable-acl.
(Running tests as root): Recommend using "check-root", not "check".
