3 See the end for copying conditions.
5 Shishi is unstable. You should expect it to not work. You should
6 expect it to have security problems. The API will likely change.
7 This is the development release. A proper release will be made in due
8 time. Let me repeat that, SHISHI IS MOST LIKELY INSECURE. DO NOT USE
9 IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT!
11 It will not become stable without help. Donate time or money.
13 To compile from CVS, you need perl, texinfo, GTK-DOC, autoconf 2.59+,
14 automake 1.9+, help2man, and gengetopt 2.12rc. Bootstrap the build
19 Then run 'make' etc as usual.
21 A note to binary package builders: please build using --disable-shared
22 because during the development phase, only the so revision will be
23 bumped on releases. If you build shared libraries, other packages
24 that link to them may stop working when a new release of the library
25 is installed. The reason for this is simply that the package is not
26 mature enough to warrant proper shared object versioning.
