-The following notes refer to Michael Kerrisk as upstream maintainer.
+If you are willing to help with the upstream work on the Linux manual pages, please check out the following link:
- . Small patches are best sent inline in a mail
-
- . Use a single mail for each addition and don't add more than one
- update/improvement/addition into one mail. (Apparently Michael
- uses an mbox as todo list as well)
-
- . Use diff -u for patches (should be default for all projects anyway)
-
- . For users: it's best to go through the Debian maintainer to clean
- up the patch before it is sent upstream.
