Folks, I've just released a full set of tarballs for all
public ARK teams, and updated the http://ark.sf.net/ web
pages.  Here's the blurb I submitted to freshmeat.net:

   ARK team: `doc' values ("documentation fragments") are
   now in use.  `Proxy-hosts' work sensibly in more cases.
   The `--constraint-hosts' flag has been eliminated.

   Sidai team: The simple Webware-based ARK presentation
   tool is included.  Dependencies are more carefully
   handled when compiling packages.  Solaris 8 is now known
   to work.  A new NIS-less password-distribution scheme is
   available to try out (warning: perilous!).

   Glasli1 team: Many packages have been upgraded to new
   versions.

Actually, there's really a lot of good stuff since the July
21 snapshots, though not much of it would qualify as
'dramatic', especially if you're on the ark-dev list.

For what it's worth: I would strongly advise ARK users and
potential users to use CVS as their primary access
mechanism.  After all, ARK is little more than a systematic
way for sysadmins' CVS repositories to talk to each other :-)

Let me know of any problems.

Will
