 Preparing distribution
 ======================

-distribution for configuration, compilation and packaging.  To prepare a

-that was defined in 'distributions' file.  The <version> is the version of 
+that was defined in distdir/ directory.  The <version> is the version of 
 the distribution that will be prepared.  The version format is 
 major.minor.build, for example 0.9.10.  Example:
 
-       ./prepare client 0.9.15
+       autodist client 0.9.15
 
 This prepares 'client' distribution of version 0.9.15.  The package will 
 have the version 0.9.15 automatically.
 
-NOTE for 'toolkit' distribution:  The toolkit version is defined in the 
-'prepare' file itself.  Edit the SILC_VERSION variable inside the 
-'prepare' script, and then run the prepare without the version argument.
