GNU Alive 2.0.5 available

release notes:

  We welcome Bruno Haible to the THANKS file.

README excerpt:

  GNU Alive is a keep-alive program for internet connections.
  It repeatedly pings a series of user-specified hosts, thereby
  encouraging (one hopes) the involved networks to not disappear.

NEWS for 2.0.5 (2022-01-02):

  - ‘--help’ output says GNU Alive takes no arguments

    It also says details are in the manual.

  - missing xdgdirs(1) now silent

    Previously, when looking for the config directory, if xdgdirs(1)
    was not found, you would see the (harmless) error message:

     /bin/sh: 1: xdgdirs: not found

    Now, it's searched for prior to invocation, so if it's missing,
    there is no error message.

  - bootstrap/maintenance tools
