Description Sahil Tandon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2010-08-10 00:20:03 UTC 
In the patch below, I suggest some grammar/english adjustments to the section on RUN_DEPENDS.
I have copied danfe@ on this report because he introduced this (very important!) information 
into the Porter's Handbook, and I do not want to step on any toes or imply that my english is 
superior.  I simply want to increase clarity, and hope that you will review my patch + merge 
the parts that you consider useful.

Hi Sahil,

I was the one who received and refined Alexey's patch a bit, so many
of your fixes touch my changes to the original one.  Well, sorry for
my poor English, it seems it could not learn that language in almost
20 years... :P

I also do not have strong opinion on proposed changes; I'm also not a
native speaker and I understand that my text is probably overly
complicated; but due to its technical nature it's hard to explain it "in
plain words".  So I leave it to others' judgment.  After all, my sole
concern is that people should really stop making that mistake, that's
all.  If my wording can be improved to be more clear to porters, I do
not object.
