I appear as an editor for the gentoo linux x86 installation guide, and my email appears clearly as well : Pierre-Henri dot Jondot at wanadoo dot fr... Due to the large amount of spam I'm getting these days, I'd like this adress to be removed of your installation doc... Well, if you remove my name altogether, I won't complain. (I contributed only minor changes to the doc anyway !) (I even received some worm viruses from faked gentoo.org email adresses quite recently...) Thanks Pierre-Henri Jondot
Created attachment 23921 [details, diff] This patche removes the email address Please review
I'd rather leave your name and remove your email from the doc like it has been done for others in the past. Please let me know if it is OK with you.
Yeah, leaving my name, just removing the email adress is of course fine with me. I am not sure leaving the email as a xml comment is safe but if you think it is then it is ok for me. (But if there is a risk of the adress being found by an automatic web parser, then I'd rather get rid of it completely, and not only apparently...) That being said : I just saw that my name (and email) appears too in the gentoo handbook http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook.xml Would the change in gentoo-x86-install.xml be automatically reported to other bit of documentation that depended of gentoo-x86-install ? If I look at the exemple of John P. Davis, it seems it won't... So at least two files might have to be patched I'm afraid... (the second being of course handbook/handbook.xml) Thanks for your trouble, Pierre-Henri
I had already noticed your address in the handbook. No worries. Your email has been removed, i.e. not even left in an xml comment. English docs have been updated and a request sent to translators to have them sync their translations. BTW, I receive very few (read <1/day) spam on my gentoo email, mostly some security fake from MS. It is likely that spammers have collected your address elsewhere and now they'll keep using it anyway. Sorry about your troubles.
