Hi Paul,
I still don't know how to interpret "non-trivial".
i'd say "content", vs. punctuation, formatting, or spelling. larry's
changes wouldn't qualify, IMO.
In the latter bucket I'd also put removing removing double words, adding
the odd word to improve grammar, swapping some words around, e.g. moving
`therefore' to the beginning of the sentence, swapping `hence' for
`thus', s/UNIX/Unix/, etc.
Clarifying -foo is the default. Adding to the list of profile entries
used. They're content.
I find it touching that y'all would like to have a beard-strokingly
intense discussion on what constitutes trivial, when there's gibberish
like this in the man pages, waiting to be fixed:
The password for POP service when the -sasl switch is used
with one of these programs is the login name on the local
machine.
Do I care if the date on the man page changes, so long as this gets
corrected? No. No, I do not. Figure it out among yourselves and let
me know the outcome. I will abide. Do I care that, in proposing
that this gets corrected, my contribution is referred to as trivial
and cosmetic? No, funnily enough, I don't. Do I care that his
blatant nonsense gets corrected? Yes, passionately.
