Re: [9fans] Very old bug in db(1)

I could be wrong, but looks like nobody cares about such small fixes. A few days ago, I've found some very old small errors (one in the 2c(1) man page and one in col(1) that affects man pages' visualization in variable width fonts) but had no feedback. I guess that the most effective way to cope w

a 9fan/git-fan should volunteer to take one for the team, learn git thoroughly, then hide it behind an fs layer. we will revere such a person, and nominate him/her for sainthood. On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 9:35 AM Charles Forsyth wrote: > > On 19 March 2015 at 16:09, wrote: > >> There is definite

You can pick up a Cheesehead hat in Wisconsin, or online… Some groups I’ve worked with would pass the Cheesehead hat to the person who checked something in that broke the nightly build. I’m not saying being sainted by the 9fans community wouldn’t be an honor, but the recipient might get something
