>Description:
The CTM section in the handbook contains outdated information,
the patch below will correct the following:
- location of the CTM sources,
- remove a sentence about creating a mailing list
for the ports,
- remove the German CTM mirror (it no longer exists),
- 'FTP search' site has moved to alltheweb.
Other than that, shouldn't we consider to clearly
state that CVSup is the way to go? The handbook
gives advice to subscribe to the CTM mailing list,
but the last posting to that list was back in 1997.
This could be a sign of all being well, but I suspect
most people are using CVSup today and support for
CTM is very limited.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read 'Using CTM' in the handbook.
