- GNU Hello is a perfect example of a package that follows the GNU
- Coding Standards. It's small, shows how to use autoconf, set up
- makefiles, use changelogs, etc.
-
- People who are develop or maintain GNU software, can use GNU hello as
- a guide when they are setting up their releases. In fact, why doesn't
- the Coding Standards refer to GNU Hello???
