GSS README-alpha -- Important introductory notes for alpha releases.
Copyright (C) 2003 Simon Josefsson

GSS is unstable. You should expect it to not work. You should expect it to have security problems. The API and ABI will likely change. This is the development release. A proper release will be made in due time. Let me repeat that, GSS IS MOST LIKELY INSECURE. DO NOT USE IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT!
The code will go through a security review before the stable release is made. Volunteers needed.
It will not become stable without help. Donate time or money.
To compile from CVS, you need texinfo, tex, libtool, automake, and autoconf. Bootstrap the build environment with:
$ ./autogen.sh
Then run ./configure etc as usual.
A note to binary package builders: please build using --disable-shared because during the development phase, only the so revision will be bumped on releases. If you build shared libraries, other packages that link to them may stop working when a new release of the library is installed. The reason for this is simply that the package is not mature enough to warrant proper shared object versioning.
