Re: Announce: AbiWord 2.2.4 autopackage 0.0 "POKEY"

Hello again,

a few days ago i uploaded a new autopackage. This one should know about
its dependencies and be able to check them correctly.

I won't bother you with more mails, people interested in the abiword
autopackage can track progress at
http://www.abisource.com/~rob/

As soon as i have a feeling about the quality of the package i'd like to
propose it for inclusion on the autopackage website. It would be very
helpful if you could give it a spin folks, since i only have access to a
very limited number of machines to test on (1).

Thanks,
- Rob
