>Description:
When I routinely read some stuff in the handbook today, I noticed
a small inconsistency in the "-Current vs. -Stable" part of the
"Cutting Edge" section of the handbook: In the part that deals with
-Current, CVSup is recommended as the best source sync method,
while CTM is said to be problematic. In the part that deals with
-Stable, however, CTM is listed as the most preferred method, and
no problems resulting from its used are mentioned.
I have now changed it so that CVSup is listed as the best method
in both sections (most people are using it anway). Furthermore,
I listed CTM as third most recommended way, saying that it is
probably well suited for people with a slower connection.
This fixes the small inconsistency, so that the parts telling
how to stay current with -Current and how to stay current
with -Stable contain the same (accurate) information and no
contradictions anymore.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the current -Current vs. -Stable section in the handbook
and you will see what I mean...
>Fix:
The following diff, to be applied to
books/handbook/cutting-edge/chapter.sgml makes the whole thing
a little more sane, as you will hopefully be able to see.
