Release of GSRC 2012.09.06

Item posted by Brandon Invergo <brandon> on Thu 06 Sep 2012 07:12:13 PM UTC.

I'm happy to announce the 2012.09.06 release of GSRC, the GNU Source
Release Collection. GSRC is a convenient means to fetch, build and
install the latest GNU software from source via a BSD Ports-like system.
Installing a package is as simple as

$ make -C gnu/hello install

You can find more information and the documentation at the GSRC website:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gsrc

This release is a snapshot of what is really a rolling process. The current
snapshot has build scripts for 271 packages but new packages are added
and old packages are updated frequently. You can download this release
at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsrc or, to download it from the nearest
mirror, http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gsrc/

Of course, to stay up to date in between releases of GSRC, you may
choose instead to checkout the bzr repository:

$ bzr checkout bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/ gsrc

And keep up-to-date with the latest releases:

$ bzr update

If you encounter any problems with a build script, please let me know
at bug-gsrc@gnu.org.
