The following reply was made to PR docs/159854; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Benedict Reuschling <bcr@FreeBSD.org> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, kaduk@mit.edu Cc: Subject: Re: docs/159854: [patch] grammar updates for carp.4 Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2011 16:02:21 +0200 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The "problem" with contributed man pages (from other projects, in this case OpenBSD's CARP) is that we don't fix them in our tree, as this would result in merge conflict when importing the next version their tree into ours. Hence, it is better to contact the vendor and see whether the corrections can be done in their tree first and when that is done, contact our maintainer for that piece of software to import these fixes. However, as we are currently a few versions behind the vendor version, the man page has changed significantly as far as your patch is concerned. You might want to check their current version and see whether your fixes still apply: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/share/man/man4/carp.4 Cheers Benedict Reuschling FreeBSD Documentation Committer The FreeBSD Documentation Project FreeBSD German Documentation Project - https://doc.bsdgroup.de -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6izO0ACgkQTSZQLkqBk0jDhACdEHauNwccMC3ZrWd8WQ0RTLyH N0kAnAwRwoVLhuyNzmw4t4gyzxpOLvgm =tm30 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
