Hello, Thank you for working on this, but unfortunately the Debian User Reference Manual is considered obsolete and your bug is not even assigned to an existing package. There is also no package I can think of to reassign it to so I see no better way than to close it, but CC the debian-doc list so your report is not completely "lost". Kind regards, Andrei -- looking after bugs filed against unknown packages On Mi, 16 iul 14, 20:25:58, myr wrote: > Subject: Avoiding gender-specific language > Package: user > Severity: minor > Tags: patch > > Dear Maintainer, > *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** > > * What led up to the situation? > I was searching for gender-specific language to correct across all the > documentation that is part of DDP > > * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or > ineffective)? > grep -r " he " ./* | grep .sgml > grep -r " his " ./* | grep .sgml > grep -r " him " ./* | grep .sgml > > and ignored all the files that were included in a language-specific > folder other than english > > * What was the outcome of this action? > I found some issues and created the patch attached here. > > > All the best, > Myriam > > -- System Information: > Debian Release: 7.6 > APT prefers stable-updates > APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') > Architecture: i386 (i686) > > Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) > Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) > Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash > Index: basic_cmds.sgml > =================================================================== > --- basic_cmds.sgml (revision 10421) > +++ basic_cmds.sgml (working copy) > @@ -755,7 +755,7 @@ > <heading>Turning off the computer</heading> > <p>Turning the computer on and off is really a system administration > subject, but I include it here because it is something that every user who > -is his own administrator needs to know.
