 Uhm, I remember that we did quite some changes some time ago wrt/ to
this (s/commercial/propietary/).  I think we just have missed this one,
thanks for noticing.

 If you happen to find some other places this changes haven't been made
yet don't hesitate to mention them.

 Have fun,

Good catch. The formatting was broken, it should indeed be:

other=/dev/hda1
   label=win

Thanks, I've committed the fix.

That's right. Commerical relates to commerce, where you trade something
(money) for something else (software).  So the opposite of commercial
would be "free beer". Selling public domain software on a CD is 
a commercial activity.

Proprietary means it is owned by someone or something and its use is
restricted by the owner.  The opposite of proprietary could be "free
speech".  Giving away software to certain people but then saying only
they can use the software and in a certain way you specify is a
proprietary activity.

Chinese big5 encoding and PO files

2003-01-27 Thread Denis Barbier
Hi,

there are trouble with big5 encoding in PO files, because some
backslashes are not escaped (e.g. MailingLists/subscribe.wml
cannot be processed).  Maybe fix_big5.pl should be run against
those PO files so that MO files contain escaped backslashes?
But I am not sure that encoding is then still valid, could a
Chinese translator investigate this issue?

suggestion: make Debian Guide available on web site

2003-01-27 Thread Daniel Barclay

A suggestion:  Make the Debian Guide Available on line.

The page at http://www.debian.org/doc/ has a "Debian Guide" link
to http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#guide.  That has a link
to the Debian package description, but there doesn't seem to be
any on-line version.
