Prefer straight quoting in some text files

2015-09-11T18:05:12+00:00

Mostly this just changes ` to ' in static text.  Some exceptions:
* INSTALL.REPO: Use curved quotes, as the diagnostic in question
typically does that now.
* admin/quick-install-emacs (TRY, top level):
Use straight quoting in diagnostics.
* src/README: Fix working-directory confusion.

Update copyright year to 2015

2015-01-01T22:26:41+00:00

Run admin/update-copyright.

Merge branch 'emacs-24'.

2014-11-29T07:07:16+00:00

Lessen focus on ChangeLog files, as opposed to change log entries.

2014-11-19T19:37:56+00:00

This is in preparation for generating the former automatically
from the latter.
* admin/notes/bugtracker, admin/notes/copyright, admin/notes/newfile:
ChangeLog -> change log
* admin/notes/changelogs: Remove, merging old contents to ...
* admin/notes/repo: ... here.
* doc/emacs/maintaining.texi (Change Log): Mention that ChangeLog files may
be copied to or from a version control system.
* doc/emacs/trouble.texi (Sending Patches): Point to the commit messages.
* doc/lispref/intro.texi (Acknowledgments): ChangeLog file -> change log entries.
* doc/lispref/tips.texi (Library Headers): Emacs uses a version control system.
* etc/CONTRIBUTE: Give advice about git commit messages and how
to generate proposed patches containing them.

Remove support for DJGPP < 2.02

2014-08-09T16:12:33+00:00

This also removes some specially-licensed files and lots of accompanying
explanation.

Don't require pkg-config when building from repository.

2014-05-16T15:49:13+00:00

* INSTALL: Prefer './configure FOO=BAR' to 'FOO=BAR ./configure'.
* INSTALL.REPO: pkg-config is no longer required to build from
the repository.
* autogen.sh: Don't check for pkg-config.
(progs): Remove pkg-config.
(pkg_config_min, AUTORECONF_ENV, env_space, ACLOCAL_PATH):
Remove.  All uses removed.
* m4/pkg.m4: New file, built by admin/merge-pkg-config.
* configure.ac: Remove unnecessary m4_pattern_forbid of ^PKG_ and
an AC_ARG_VAR of PKG_CONFIG_PATH.  pkg.m4 does that for us.
(EMACS_CHECK_MODULES): Remove workaround for old pkg-config bug,
as we use pkg.m4 from a newer pkg-config.
* admin/merge-pkg-config: New script.
* admin/notes/copyright: Update for m4/*.m4, in particular m4/pkg.m4.
* etc/NEWS: Prefer './configure FOO=BAR' to 'FOO=BAR ./configure'.

that is no longer an issue.
* nt/INSTALL: Remove no-longer-needed notes about pkg-config.

These are old copies of online information that is not Emacs-specific.

* etc/CENSORSHIP, etc/GNU, etc/LINUX-GNU, etc/THE-GNU-PROJECT, etc/WHY-FREE:
Replace contents with pointers to www.gnu.org or emacs.info, mark obsolete.

* src/callproc.c (init_callproc): In etc, look for NEWS rather than GNU.

* lisp/startup.el (fancy-startup-text):
* lisp/help.el (describe-gnu-project): Visit online info about GNU project.

* doc/emacs/help.texi (Help Files): Update C-h g description.
