And need to discover the very subtle variations. So I don't > want to wait the end of the release cycle ! Assuming I can get write access, how do I minimise the pain? I could split the changes into: a) fixes for the English that shouldn't affect translations (e.g. correcting Germanic uses of "respectively", objectless "allow", etc.) b) fixes that affect everybody in a clearly parallel fashion, such as correcting "dhcp" to "DHCP"; c) similarly, changes to the docbook, like introducing in place of for packages; d) (optional extra) content updates - for instance Appendix C3 claims "an older home machine might have 32MB of RAM and a 1.7GB IDE drive"... wow, even the first PC I cobbled together from junk parts in the nineties was significantly better than that! But while I know a few basic svn commands (which is more than I'll ever understand of git), it's not clear to me whether doing (a), (b), (c), and (d) as successive commits would let translators benefit from them being separate. Would I need to learn how to do fancy stuff like branches and merges? -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package

Steve McIntyre (2015-09-13): > Build worked fine, doing some quick testing now. Yep, I've tested a few things a few hours ago, and switched to preparing the announce. Feel free to sign and move into place when you're happy with your own tests. And thanks! Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
