3This directory contains virgin copies of the original distribution files
4on a "vendor" branch.  Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to upgrade
5the files in this directory via patches and a cvs commit.
6
7To upgrade to a newer version of groff, when it is available:
8	1. Unpack the new version into an empty directory.
9	   [Do not make ANY changes to the files.]
10
11	2. Use the command:
12		cvs import -m 'Virgin import of FSF groff v<version>' \
13			src/contrib/groff FSF v<version>
14
15	   For example, to do the import of version 1.19.2, I typed:
16		cvs import -m 'Virgin import of FSF groff v1.19.2' \
17			src/contrib/groff FSF v1_19_2
18
19	3. Follow the instructions printed out in step 2 to resolve any
20	   conflicts between local FreeBSD changes and the newer version.
21
22Do not, under any circumstances, deviate from this procedure.
23
24To make local changes to groff, simply patch and commit to the main
25branch (aka HEAD).  Never make local changes on the FSF branch.
26
27All local changes should be submitted to Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org> or 
28Ted Harding <ted.harding@nessie.mcc.ac.uk> for inclusion in the next
29vendor release.
