Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] New maintainer, new release coming

[Ivan Zaigralin]

Hi!

I am a bit confused. We used to download sources from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/ Is that still true?

Also, I am trying to build icecat_31.0+gnu3.tar.gz, and
README.IceCat says, run .configure to make, but there is
no .configure. I am doing something wrong?
