Subject: [bug#73964] [PATCH] doc: remove stray prose
Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2024 09:46:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fronlyog.fsf@denver.mail-host-address-is-not-set> (raw)
* doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Historically, the example for
running ./configure included references to localstatedir and sysconfdir, which
the following text explained. Since now it just tells you to run ./configure,
remove this explanation.
