Bug#513945: release-notes: fixing a floating footnote and an empty section
Package: release-notes
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
upgrading.dbk has an odd paragraph which only contains a footnote. The
footnote should be included just after some word in another paragraph or
changed to a normal "note". I prefer the latter.
Also, the last section of that file, identified as "plans-for-nigel",
only contains a subsection for arm and armel. This results in
"plans-for-nigel" being an empty section for other architectures. I
propose to add a property 'arch="arm;armel"' to the section likewise to
make it shown only in release notes for arm and armel.
Here is a patch to do so. Could you please consider applying it?
# I have made many corrections and improvements directly to English files,
# but this change is slightly big. So, I file this as a bug report. ;-)
Many thanks,
-nori
