Description Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-06 06:59:33 UTC
Here's what I found reviewing part 2 of the handbook.
As before, these issue can all be questioned.

4.a - Partitions - 3 para
< without losing backwards compatibility.
> without losing backward compatibility.
[This was submitted for part 1, "losing" was changed
but "backwards" slipped through. Yes, that's paranoid :)]

In the summary for Working with Gentoo
< changing portage' behaviour
> changing portage behaviour

2.c - Building or Prebuilt? - 1 para
< between building the package, or using a prebuilt package.
> between building the package, and using a prebuilt package.

2.c - Building or Prebuilt? - 4 para
< the sourcecode of the packages are placed in /usr/portage/distfiles
> the sourcecode of the packages is placed in /usr/portage/distfiles

2.c - Working with Dependencies - 4 para
< To opposite of --nodeps is --onlydeps
> The opposite of --nodeps is --onlydeps

2.c - Removing Software - 4 para
< cfgpro : Another already installed package claims to own this file
> cfgpro : This is a configuration file and will not be touched for safety
[Yes, this is not grammar, but I think this is what portage does]

4.a - Protecting? - 1 para
< This is of course very usefull
> This is of course very useful

4.a - etc-update - 7 para
< It is not usefull to elaborate
> It is not useful to elaborate

5.d - Standard Functions - 3 para
< is intelligent enough to fill these functions in herself
> is intelligent enough to fill these functions by itself

Thanks for the patience. Bye!

Thanks. I've updated all of them :) I've rewritten the cfgpro to

"""
    <c>cfgpro</c> : This file is located inside a protected directory and will 
    not be touched for safety
"""

It's not necessarily a configuration file, but it's located inside a protected directory.
