Since you asked for people to pick nits in the docs - I don't see
any major problems, and don't think we have to fix all of these,
but if you're going to update the docs again, some should be
fairly quick fixes:
- In the RELNOTES section 2 it lists a bunch of features as new
in 6.8.2, but they really came in at 6.8.0 - wouldn't it make
more sense to split out the 6.8.2 changes into a separate
section and then leave the stuff carried forward from 6.8.0 as
"new features in 6.8.0"?
- RELNOTEs section 3.3, Input Drivers - should kbd's description as
"(alternate)" be changed to something else now that it's default
on some platforms?
Perhaps:
|kbd | generic keyboards (loadable module) | kbd(4) |
|keyboard | generic keyboards (builtin driver) | keyboard(4) |
and a pointer to the section 5.1 covering the transition plan?
- RELNOTES, Section 4.10 - missed a 6.7.x to 6.8.x update
- RELNOTES, Section 4.11.1, paragraph 3: Shouldn't the fonts.conf
references point to the fonts.conf/fontconfig man pages now,
not Xft(3)?
- RELNOTES, Section 4.14 - "X11R6.8.2.x" should either be .2 or .x,
not both.
- RELNOTES, Section 4.21 - extra > after COPYRIGHT.Vera.
- RELNOTES, Section 6 - Credits:
- 6.8.2 list - we pulled in Mark Vojkovich's nv driver fixes,
but he's not listed - should he be since his work is in there,
or not because he didn't contribute to us, and we just pulled
them on our own?
- previous releases list - there's a few missing commas between
names, such as in these lines:
Gennari, Jim Gettys, Alexander Gottwald, Ralf Habacker Mike Har-
ris, Mattheiu Herrb Alan Hourihane, Harold L Hunt II, Elliot Lee,
(I'm pretty sure Mattheiu Herrb & Alan Hourihane are not the same
person.)
