I'm happy with Karl's version, except that "scuccessfully build" might be taken to exclude configuration. I know in the previous sentance you mention configure, but we are talking about a formal standard here. Also I wonder if we should mention the "make check" process too. That should also work disconnected IMO. -- PGP Public key ID: 1024D/2DE827B3 fingerprint = 8797 A26D 0854 2EAB 0285 A290 8A67 719C 2DE8 27B3 See http://sks-keyservers.net or any PGP keyserver for public key.
