Dear FreeBSD doc'ers,
I am writing again to make sure I have correctly intepreted/translated
the Cutting Edge(tm).
Q1) "Use the CTM facility" (= the functions provided by it);
^^^^^^^^
Q2) "[...] [developers] giving the users a chance to respond if they
have any issues to raise concerning the proposed change."
^^^^^^
Both meaning of "issue" (=important problem; important topic.) seem to
be present here. Is this correct/intended ?
Should I only translate the first one ? Or even both ?
Q3) "CTM does not interactively compare the sources you have with
those on the master archive or otherwise pull them across.."
^^^^^^^^^
I seem to understand:
"CTM neither compares [...] nor pulls them across in any
other/different way"
Ie "otherwise" is a (manner) adjunct within the scope of negation and
here means (more or less) "in any other way". If so, the sentence
should rougly mean: CTM makes no interactive comparison [...]; it
pulls them across in no other way.
But... the intended meaning (ie the push model) is that CTM **pulls**
sources across in **NO** way.
Should I translate "in no way" rather than "in no other way ?
Q4) "If you inadvertently wipe out portions of your archives [...]"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I seem to understand that "inadvertently" = "by accident"
(alternatively, it may also mean "unintentionally" in the Q4 context).
But... the intended meaning is (or should be) that a user is
completely **unaware**, since his/her sources may even be deleted AND
subsequently restored **without** the user even noticing both actions.
Should I translate this last idea ?
Q5) "If you wipe out some portion of your source tree [...] with
anoncvs [you will have to] simply delete the bad bits and resync.
^^^
"bad" bits (?)= partly damaged; partly corrupted.
Many apologies for the dumb questions, and many thanks in advance
for your advice,
Salvo
