config.sub, config.guess, and the GNU FTP site

[Paul Eggert]

The GNU FTP server has been frozen since late July; nothing new has
appeared on it.  I don't know what the holdup is.

I suggest that we find a new home for config.guess and config.sub in
the meantime.

gnulib currently keeps copies of several files like that in one
convenient place.  It slurps them from their canonical locations
automatically.  It has copies of config.guess and config.sub, which I
think were the latest versions before the freeze occurred.  See:
<http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/gnulib/gnulib/config/>

So you can sync from gnulib for now, using the following URLs:

http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/gnulib/gnulib/config/config.guess?rev=HEAD
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/gnulib/gnulib/config/config.sub?rev=HEAD


Ben, would you like to have checkin privileges to gnulib?
Then you can simply install the latest versions there.
