Message-ID: <20011120213339.A16929@blackhelicopters.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Folks, I'm doing a pass on the Handbook, and found that the ports chapter could really use some help. I've started to rewrite some stuff and add information, and found myself committing major surgery here and there. Some updates require touching chapter.sgml in several places. Some don't, but would only make sense if the changes in the previous sentence were in place. What's the best way to handle something like this? Create one massive patch per section and submit it for review before send-pr? Keep individual changes small, but a whole flock of them? Give up and just start my next FreeBSD book, leaving this alone? ==ml -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@blackhelicopters.org http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ Big Scary Daemons: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
