Re: No package 'abiword-2.8' found

I compiled ABI-2-8-0-STABLE-abiword...

[
only one small problem:
make
#make[2]: *** No rule to make target `abiword.1', needed by `all-am'. Stop.
touch abiword.1 # : )
make # ok
]

The py examples run but I still have to create the links "2.7"...
(haven't tried Jean patch yet)

Anyway there are many differences between 2.8 stable and 2.9
development? I ask because maybe some bugs (I have reported here ) are
solved only in 2.9...
