Is anyone working on a new edition of the goat book?
Even the online version still has a lot of historical baggage. It uses
the old-style configure.in filename, for one thing. For another, there
are phrases like "this will be fixed in the next major version of
Automake" when referring to v1.4 limitations, etc. A lot has happened
in the last five years. Not just new features, but old ones becoming
passe'. The proper style for using autotools has changed markedly.
On top of all that, I still prefer my paper copy, for usability.
It's time for a big enough rewrite to justify a second paper edition.
I'd certainly buy a new copy.
