autoup v0.22 released (finally)



this release merges code and ideas from rob and david and some stuff
from myself.

it's available from the usual sites:

	http://debian.vicnet.net.au/autoup/
and
	http://taz.net.au/autoup/

the vicnet site is, as usual, the recommended place to get it from. it's
on a much bigger pipe than my little 56k modem link (which is connected
via vicnet anyway since that's where i work :). i don't know how long
it takes for other autoup sites to be updated...maybe they should wget
mirror the vicnet site.


changes in this version:


v0.21.1.3: 1998-03-11 (Robert D. Hilliard <hilliard@metrolink.net>)
  - Robert fixed the ftp stuff, including the PKGS_LIBC5 problem.

(rob's version was never released AFAIK, but it's what i based v0.22
on.)

v0.22: 1998-03-26 (Craig Sanders)
  there were still problems with ncftp. probably caused by the fact that
  i have ncftp 3.0.0 beta 9 installed. anyway, i decided that futzing
  around with ncftp was waste of time when plain old ftp was good enough
  to do the job. i rewrote the ftp stuff like so:
 - removed the ncftp stuff
 - rewrote the ftp function so that it first creates an ftp script
   file which gets fed into ftp -i -n
 - got rid of the ftpftp function definition and $FTP_FUNC stuff and 
   shuffled code around so that all the ftp stuff is inside the f)
   case.
 - deleted some cruft which didn't seem to be in use
   (e.g.  stuff for lftp and wget, and the $ERROR_FILES variable)
also:
 - Rob H wrote a good readme for autoup.  i'll be including it on the autoup
   home page from now on. http://debian.vicnet.net.au/autoup/ is the
   fastest and most up-to-date site. http://taz.net.au/autoup/ is also
   always up-to-date but much slower.
