This file is part of GNU tar.
For comprehensive modifications to GNU tar, you might need tools beyond
those used in simple installations. Fully install GNU m4 1.4 first,
-and only then, Autoconf 2.13 or later. Install Perl, then Automake
-1.4 or later. You might need Bison 1.28 or later, and GNU tar itself.
-All are available on GNU archive sites, like in
-ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/.
-
-Send bug reports to `bug-tar@gnu.org'. (Beware, old-timers: it is
-`@gnu', not `@prep'; and not `bug-gnu-utils' anymore.) A bug report is
-an adequate description of the problem: your input, what you expected,
+and only then, Autoconf 2.57 or later. Install Perl, then Automake
+1.7.5 or later. Also, install gettext 0.12.1 or later. You might
+need Bison 1.875 or later, and GNU tar itself. All are available on
+GNU archive sites, like in ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/.
+
+Send bug reports to <bug-tar@gnu.org>. A bug report should contain
+an adequate description of the problem, your input, what you expected,
what you got, and why this is wrong. Diffs are welcome, but they only
describe a solution, from which the problem might be uneasy to infer.
If needed, submit actual data files with your report. Small data files
