Bug#483223: developers-reference: some typo or formatting errors



Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.3.9
Severity: minor

Hi all,
while reading developers-reference for NM, I've spotted some typos or
formatting errors I want to report. I'm pretty sure they are not all of
the issue in the doc, but they are a good number ;)

The format is "* <section> - <brief description of the error>" (feel free to
contact me in case the point it's not clear); here is the list:

* 5.5.1 - "uploads To stable-proposed-updates", "to" not capitalized
* 5.6.2 - gluck, ftp-master, ~/.dput.cf, DELAYED should be in verbatim
* 5.6.4 - hosts should be in verbatim
* 5.8.5.4 - security.d.o and ftp-master verbatim
* 5.10.3.3 - $arch@buildd.d.o verbatim
* 5.13.2.1 - "update_out.py" verbatim
* 5.13.2.1 - is the example wrong? or it's simply missing that "foo" is
             the package in question (in the first part)?
* 5.13.2.5 - britney code location in verbatim
* 5.13.4.2 - "<< varieties" should not be encoded in pdf
* 5.13.4.2 - packages name, debian-devel and debian-release verbatim
* 6.1.1 - "/usr/lib/menu (or /usr/lib/menu" are the same...
* 6.3.4 - highlight commands and path verbatim
* 6.5.2.2 - "man po-debconf" verbatim
* 6.7.6 - "...via this trick: <CR>" carriage return unneeded
* 6.7.7 - "--guess-dummy" verbatim
* 6.7.8.1 - .orig.tar.gz verbatim
* 6.7.9 - objcopy, all programs, parameters and paths should be verbatim
* 7.2.2 - "perl" should be "Perl" or verbatim
* 7.4 - /org/qa.debian.org/mia + host "qa.debian.org" (both even at
         bottom) + "echelon" + "debian-*-changes" verbatim
* 8 - "...and so on in the world. while L10N...", period should be a
      comma
* 8 - dbuild or buildd?

Thanks for your attention,
Sandro
