APPROVE COMMIT 21.5 Robert Royar writes: Thank you, Robert! I didn't actually read much past the section titles. ;-) As you guessed, the same code is used for processing all these lists. I added a paragraph to that effect. As Sean pointed out, this is a 21.5 improvement (ie, FHS compatibility). Good idea. I fixed the syntax of betas (21.5-b32) and added the patchlevel for the stable line. Postponed to issue849. I put section titles in upper case, text uses in lower case, and references to section titles in title case. # HG changeset patch # Parent 6b027725e3401176451d62ba5e86de32bc38c6d6 More corrections to INSTALL by Robert Royer. diff -r 6b027725e340 -r 37b107e878b8 ChangeLog --- a/ChangeLog Fri Dec 28 02:29:16 2012 +0900 +++ b/ChangeLog Fri Dec 28 12:35:44 2012 +0900 ＠＠ -1,3 +1,13 ＠＠ +2012-12-27 Robert D.
