I am not very happy with the patch in that it includes very different types of corrections, often coordinated by different people. It would have been better to prepare separate patches for: - changelog corrections - script corrections - corrections in code in ./packages/... - corrections for the manual (also split between original version and and individual translations) - corrections for other documentation - corrections in translations for packages - corrections in translations for the manual Corrections in translations should be sent to the translation team responsible for that language, not to the list. I have processed all documentation related corrections as follows. > +++ installer/doc/devel/historic/docbook/kernel-policy.html > +++ installer/doc/devel/historic/docbook/kernel-policy.xml Fixed typo in xml document and regenerated html document. > +++ installer/doc/devel/historic/hardware-detection.txt Fixed. Hmm. I wonder why I did those as these documents are in the "historic" directory which means they are not current and actively used anyway... > +++ installer/doc/talks/d-i_internals/d-i_internals.tex Fixed. > +++ installer/doc/manual/da/preparing/pre-install-bios-setup.xml > +++ installer/doc/manual/eu/preparing/pre-install-bios-setup.xml > +++ installer/doc/manual/it/preparing/pre-install-bios-setup.xml Not processed as it is the responsibility of translators to keep untranslated documents in sync with the English original. I am most unhappy with these patches as they had been submitted before and I also rejected them then with the same argument. > +++ installer/doc/manual/de/install-methods/usb-setup/i386.xml > +++ installer/doc/manual/de/install-methods/usb-setup/powerpc.xml > +++ installer/doc/manual/de/partitioning/partition/alpha.xml > +++ installer/doc/manual/de/boot-installer/m68k.xml Forwarded to the d-l10n-german list for review. They will have to decide for themselves if they want to commit the changes. > +++ installer/doc/manual/en/appendix/example-preseed.xml > +++ installer/doc/manual/en/boot-installer/i386.xml Not committed as I am unsure if the patch is correct. The corrections have been made only in trunk as none of them is important enough for the Sarge branch. In future I am likely to ignore such "blanket" patches (even though I do appreciate the effort).
