To wit: You don't give up on the release/texts updates, do you? :-) The userland changes (tcsh, less, ls -G) are certainly applicable to the Alpha, as are the s/ethernet/Ethernet/ bits. If you have time could you send a patch for the alpha/RELNOTES.TXT file as well? If not I'll look at it myself tomorrow perhaps. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D FreeBSD Documentation Project / Ben Smithurst wrote: > If you have time could you > send a patch for the alpha/RELNOTES.TXT file as well? actually, no need -- your i386 patch applied with only one failure (which I've fixed manually) to the alpha file. I'll merge what's needed into the HEAD version first, and commit the RELENG_4 stuff ASAP unless someone gets there first. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D FreeBSD Documentation Project / Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->ben I'm doing this... bmah@cisco.com (Bruce A.

I just answer in the context of the mailing-list and don't saw it's already mentioned further down. Cyrille. -- home: mailto:clefevre@citeweb.net work: mailto:Cyrille.Lefevre@edf.fr |
The attached patch corrects the following (IMHO) problems in the i386 release notes on the RELENG_4 branch. Some of these might also be appropriate for 5-current and/or the Alpha as well. To wit: 1. Correct FTP site for 4.0-stable snapshots and delete sentence fragment immediately following. 2. Add FDDI section to table of contents (see #5 below) and add one line of whitespace. 3. In userland section, document csh->tcsh, more->less, and colorized ls. 4. In Ethernet section, do: s/gigabit ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet/ s/fast ethernet/Fast Ethernet/ s/ethernet/Ethernet/ 5. Pull DEC DEFPA/DEFEA *FDDI* cards out of the *Ethernet* section and into their own second-level section. 6. Add missing period in section header in ATM section. 7. Tweak upgrading sectio with some new text, not sure if this is much better though. 8. Add a blurb about the -stable mailing list.
