My other message from a day or so ago should have made this clear, but just to be explicit -- I think that content changes (for example, translating changes in a manual page from English to Japanese) are fine, and should continue as normal. However, please be particularly careful to ensure that you don't accidentally commit something that breaks the build because of bad formatting. Changes to the build infrastructure should go through me first, and we might hold off on them until 3.3 is out the door. N -- [intentional self-reference] can be easily accommodated using a blessed, non-self-referential dummy head-node whose own object destructor severs the links. -- Tom Christiansen in <375143b5@cs.colorado.edu> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
