I thought about exactly the same thing, but decided that I'd let you use your liberty as editor to make that decision upon review. Thanks for applying the fixes. Consider my fixes to posixoptions.7 as penance for complicating encrypt.3. We have users going through that transition now for us in Fedora (libcrypt -> libxcrypt), and we wanted to provide some kind of note about the APIs moving. The changes are not yet in upstream glibc, but may eventually go there, at which point the note will still be valid. We will need similar notes I think for our SunRPC -> TIRPC transition, touching the various RPC man pages and explaining any differences. -- Cheers, Carlos. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
