[gst-devel] [patch] bug#103843 : gstreamer docs connect->link update
Leif Johnson
leif at ambient.2y.net
Thu Jan 23 09:01:04 CET 2003
Hi folks -
I whipped out regexxer today and ruthlessly replaced connect
with link in the gstreamer docs (and connection with link,
disconnect with unlink, etc.). I am pretty sure I avoided
replacing the g_signal_connect (and such-like) instances.
Attached is a patch against the current HEAD branch.
If everyone thinks this is ok, I could commit the changes to
both the HEAD and BRANCH-RELEASE-0_6 branches. But a commit
will also entail moving two files in doc/manual/, namely :
connected-elements.fig -> linked-elements.fig
connections.xml -> links.xml
I don't know how moving these files will affect an
inter-branch merge later on, ideally it will work but I've
never tried this myself. Just say the word on what I should
do ... cheers !
leif
p.s. Just for my enlightenment, in the future should I post
things like this straight to Bugzilla ? I decided to post to
the list because of the freeze and potential tree management
issues.
