-For GNU m4 1.4, we recommend also installing the `translit' patch; see
-Debian bug 211477 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=211477>.
-This patch is bundled into Debian m4 1.4-17 or later.
+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.

-site and prepares the source directory for building.  The exact way
-of invoking bootstrap depends on whether you have the sources for gnulib

-If you already have gnulib sources on your machine, run:
+site and prepares the source directory for building.

 
 

-       ./bootstrap --gnulib-srcdir=DIRNAME
+When run without arguments, bootstrap will try to obtain gnulib and
+paxutils files from their corresponding CVS repositories on Savannah
+using anonymous SSH access. Then, it will fetch the po files from tar
+page at Translation Project, and, finally, it will start autoconfiguration
+process. Simply running it without arguments should do in most cases.
+Several options allow to control the behavior of bootstrap:

 
 

-Otherwise, if you have developer's access to savannah:
+ --gnulib-srcdir=DIRNAME      Specify the local directory where gnulib
+                              sources reside. Use this if you already
+                              have gnulib sources on your machine, and
+                              do not want to waste your bandwidth dowloading
+                              them again.

 
 

-a) if you access CVS via ssh, set the environment variable CVS_RSH
-to ssh and run ./bootstrap without arguments.
+ --paxutils-srcdir=DIRNAME    Specify the local directory where paxutils
+                              sources reside. Use this if you already
+                              have paxutils sources on your machine, and
+                              do not want to waste your bandwidth dowloading
+                              them again.

 
 

-b) if you access CVS via Kerberos, run
+ --cvs-auth=METHOD            Set the CVS access method used for downloading
+                              gnulib files. METHOD is one of the keywords
+                              accepted by cvs -d option (see info cvs
+                              repository).

 
 

-        ./bootstrap --cvs-auth=gserver
+ --cvs-user=USERNAME          Set the CVS username to be used when accessing
+                              the gnulib repository.

 
 

-Otherwise, if you are not a member of Savannah, run
+ --no-po                      Do not download po files.

 
 

-        ./bootstrap --cvs-auth=pserver
-
-When prompted for a password for anoncvs, simply press the Enter key.
+Notice also that when using CVS authentication method "ext", bootstrap
+will set the variable CVS_RSH to "ssh", unless it is already set to
+some other value.
