SUBJECT: Addendum to ARM5 build removal + free books
   DATE: Thu 24 May 19:52:35 BST 2018

In my last journal entry I said that ARM5 builds seemed to be okay for v0.0.1,
v0.0.2 and v0.0.7. It turns out v0.0.1 has had to be removed as well :(

Also in my last post I mentioned my copy of “Managing projects with make” from
O’Reilly:


  Managing projects with make, Andy Oram and Steve Talbott
  Published by O’Reilly Media, October 1991, ISBN-10: 0-937175-90-0


Many people do not know that O’Reilly have an Open Books project where they
have versions of some of their out of print books available for download
and/or browsing:


  https://www.oreilly.com/openbook/


In that collection there is a copy of “Managing Projects with GNU Make, Third
Edition” by Robert Mecklenburg available for browsing:


  Managing Projects with GNU Make, Third Edition, Robert Mecklenburg
  Published by O’Reilly Media, November 2004, ISBN-10: 0-596-00610-1

For those who like Unix arcana and troff I can also recommend “Unix Text
Processing” which is a gem of a book and also available. troff is a system for
typesetting, as opposed to word processing. It is similar, but much simpler,
than TeX which some users may be more familiar with. I’ve used it a lot for
producing newsletters, specifications, manuals and even reproduced a book for
someone.

Now, I’m off to hack some more on my release makefile…
