-About Snapshots ======================================================
-
-
-Each night, we make the current Guile sources available via anonymous
-FTP. Please keep in mind that these sources are strictly
-experimental; they will usually not be well-tested, and may not even
-compile on some systems. They may contain interfaces which will
-change. They will usually not be of sufficient quality for use by
-people not comfortable hacking the innards of Guile. Caveat!
-
-However, we're providing them anyway for several reasons. We'd like
-to encourage people to get involved in developing Guile. People
-willing to use the bleeding edge of development can get earlier access
-to new, experimental features. Patches submitted relative to recent
-snapshots will be easier for us to evaluate and install, since the
-patch's original sources will be closer to what we're working with.
-And it allows us to start testing features earlier.
-
-Nightly snapshots of the Guile development sources are available via
-anonymous FTP from ftp.red-bean.com, as /pub/guile/guile-core-snap.tar.gz.
-
-Via the web, that's: ftp://ftp.red-bean.com/pub/guile/guile-core-snap.tar.gz
-For getit, that's: ftp.red-bean.com:/pub/guile/guile-core-snap.tar.gz
-
-The snapshot FTP site is mirrored at the following locations:
- Austria: ftp://ftp.aec.at/pub/guile
- Japan: ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/lang/scheme/guile
