Let's see. You sent a heads-up to -CURRENT for /usr/src/release/doc and /usr/doc at "Mon, 11 Jun 2001 03:56:50 +0400". This was the first hint that I would have had that you were going to touch RELNOTESng at all. The commit that renamed RELNOTESng happened about "2001/06/10 18:48:17 PDT". This was, er, let's see, about *two hours* later?!? No wonder no one objected...I bet you were already finished before most people read your heads-up message!

You broke the overnight snapshot build of RELNOTESng for RELENG_4 (jkh just sent me the build failure report). But I see now that you've just MFC-ed something to src/release/Makefile...hope this fixes it. For the record, I'd just like to state my extreme annoyance at this lack of notification. I don't think I'm being overly demanding. It'd have been good enough for me personally if, say, two days ago, you'd sent a message to -doc saying "we're going to re-do some of the I18N stuff, go read -i18n for details". Bruce. PS. And perhaps someone can tell me if these changes are going to get MFC-ed and if so, how RELNOTESng is going to get handled. Remember, it's branched, unlike doc/. --==_Exmh_-192768850P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.3.1+ 05/14/2001 iD8DBQE7JPWj2MoxcVugUsMRAocNAKCLHU+U4qBnQ04H+T98beUpBSWsCgCgo7t1 CMgZOs7Bm81m/gHUh3thh1o= =sFaw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-192768850P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
