Re: [Slashcode-general] Minimum version of every component for a successful Slash install?

[Clifton W. <cli...@gm...>]

"HEAD" means the latest revision published by whatever source code manager
you are using. If Slashcode has moved to git and git is working (last time I
tried, which was 6-10 months ago, git didn't work). I still think I have
that repository, somewhere. If I do, I'll tar it and drop it to you via
email.
