Man pages are the one area where branching might be a good idea, as they are much more closely tied to the underlying system. Not books/ or articles/ though. > P.S. Is doc freeze over? I seen commits to doc tree without "Approved by:" > line, but missed "freeze over" announce. Yes, my mistake. However, per the recent discussions on committers, can anyone who is committing *please* take the time to run "make lint" on stuff before they commit it. I don't particularly want to have to use CVS to enforce this rule, but I will if necessary. Also, if you (i.e., everyone reading this, not just you Andrey) are committing to a language-specific part of the doc/ tree, please take the time to ensure that the language you are using is clear. For example, if English is not your native language, and you are committing to en*/*, please get your changes reviewed by someone who is a native English speaker -- either post them to this list, or, if necessary, send them directly to me.
