[Help-gsl] test release for GSL 2.6

[Patrick Alken]

Dear all,

  I would like to release the next version of GSL (2.6) since there have
been significant updates and the usual bug fixes. I have uploaded a test
release to:

ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-2.5.90.tar.gz
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-2.5.90.tar.gz.sig

All reports are welcome - anyone who can test on various platforms would
be appreciated (Linux, BSD, Mac OS, Windows).

Please try testing the build:

./configure && make && make check

If you wish you can test building the documentation, but you will need
to install the python-based sphinx software first:

1. pip install -U --user Sphinx

2. pip install -U --user sphinx_rtd_theme

(the --user flag will install in your home directory rather than
system-wide)

3. cd doc ; make html

Please report any successes/failures.

Thanks,
Patrick
