Try 4.2.1 (was: 4.3 binaries for linux?)

[Markus Neteler]

Hi also from my side,

actually there is some confusion about GRASS versions.
To finish this useless discussion, some comments
from my side.

Just ask...

Reason to publish 4.3 was to include the GPL statement. I do 
not want to start a discussion if this is allowed or not, we 
just did it and the audience accepted.
GRASS 4.2.1final was basis for 4.3.

Sorry, we missed that. Our apologies.

Again: GRASS 4.2.1final was basis for 4.3. This is described
on the web pages also. So not much testing is required.

I hope this clarifies the situation. The next days
Hannover and Baylor publish an updated 4.3 version
with minor fixes. ... and Linux binaries, too.

The 4.2.1 stuff will be removed then (to make the
GRASS mirrors happy). Then you can choose

 - either GRASS 4.3: stable
 - or GRASS 5: becoming stable

This is all I want to comment here.

Hope this helps
