Werner,

Thank you for the corrections.

If the concept of the daily snapshot is to be discontinued, the
remaining references to it ought to be removed from the documentation.


src/roff/groff/groff.man:

     The most recent released version of
     .I groff
     is available at the
     .UR http://\:groff.ffii.org/\:groff/\:devel/\:groff-current.tar.gz
     groff development site
     .UE .

This doesn't even seem to be an accurate statement of the previous
state of affairs, since the given URL didn't point to a *released*
version of groff, but the latest (give or take 24 hours) CVS source.
In any case, that URL now only gets more obsolete by the day.


doc/webpage.ms:

This document twice points to http://groff.ffii.org/groff/devel/ as
the location of the development snapshot, and later refers to a "daily
snapshot."


README:

contains one reference to a "daily snapshot."


And it's not in the source tree, but
http://www.schaffter.ca/mom/mom-05.html#testing also contains a link
to the stale January tarball.  That tarball's code may be current
enough to do what this page requires of it, so it may be a useful
link, but the page shouldn't refer to this as the "latest" code, or
the tarball as a "daily snapshot."

I can open a bug-tracker issue on this if it's not a fix anyone can
get to immediately.
