Package: release-notes
Severity: normal


While reviewing the german translation of the release-notes, I found some
glitches in the english original as well:


chapter 2.2: what's new: software updates
	the table mentions MySQL as "being upgraded", while the version in
	Stretch is "removed".
	So MySQL has to be deleted from this table.


chapter 4.4.5: upgrading the system
	here installation of CDs is used several times. Should be changed
	into CD/DVD/BD (and from there on use simply "disc").


chapter 5.1.4: Deprecated components for Stretch
	"Users will need to migrate to other alternatives to prevent trouble when updating to 10."
	Should better read "when updating to Debian 10" at the end.


appendix A.2: Checking your sources list
	About checking the sources.list before (!) upgrading to Stretch, this contains:
	"If any of the lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list refer to 'stable', you 
	are effectively already “using” stretch."
	I think, this can hardly be misunderstood as "The upgrade to stretch is
	already completed on my machine", at least from beginners.
	My proposal would be:
	"If any of the lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list refer to 'stable',
	it effectively points to Stretch already."


	Additionally, this chapter mentions lines with
	deb ftp:
	in sources.list, which should be changed from stable to jessie.
	I propose to add a note like:
	"Lines in sources.list starting with "deb ftp:" and pointing to
	debian.org addresses have to be changed into "deb http:" lines.
	See <chapter about ftp services shutdown>.



I have prepared a patch for all the above.


Holger

Agreed, I have dropped the 2.2 part.
