1 | This package, the EXT2 filesystem utilities, are protected by the GNU |

24757fa0 | 4 | If the version string in the file version.h contains the |
c786fec3 TT |
5 | string "pre-", or "WIP" then this package must be distributed |
6 | in source form only. You can give a copy of the binary for | |
7 | e2fsck to help a friend recover his or her filesystem, as the | |
8 | need arises. However, "pre" or "WIP" indicates that this | |
9 | release is under development, and available for ALPHA testing. | |
10 | So for your protection as much as mine, I'd rather not have it | |
11 | appear in a some distribution --- especially not a CD-ROM | |
12 | distribution! | |

14 | The most recent officially distributed version can be found at |
15 | http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net. If you need to make a distribution, | |
16 | that's the one you should use. If there is some reason why you'd like | |
17 | a more recent version that is still in ALPHA testing for your | |
18 | distribution, please contact me (tytso@mit.edu), and we can see if we | |
19 | can't come to an arrangement. The release schedules for this package | |
20 | are flexible, if you give me enough lead time. | |
