* BUG-REPORT: Add "verbatim" tags for Savannah.G. Branden Robinson2022-10-291-0/+2
| | | | | These will be harmless in an emailed bug report, but will help if people follow the instructions and submit it via the web site.
* BUG-REPORT: Fix style nits.G. Branden Robinson2022-10-211-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | * Put the opening instructions themselves in brackets. * Explain which kind of brackets we mean, to fend off Brits who are both pedantic and averse to the term "parentheses". (Oh, you'll take the Elgin Marbles but not this word? :P ) * Use quotation marks more consistently: single quotes for names of files in the groff distribution and option literals, and double quotes for commands to be typed or elements of web forms. (Not that anyone will notice the distinction.)
* BUG-REPORT: Alter license.G. Branden Robinson2022-10-101-17/+4
| | | | | | | | There's no reason to have any version of the GPL on a text file like this. Use the traditional GNU documentation license, like our README. (Technically, everything in groff is dual-licensed under the GPL anyway; see LICENSES.)
* BUG-REPORT: Modernize.G. Branden Robinson2022-10-091-27/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Give more detailed instructions for Savannah bug tracker usage. * Replace "machine" and "OS" fields with "platform"; solicit "uname -a" output, a much more economical means of collecting this information. Suggest a possibly feeble alternative for MS-DOS/Windows systems. * Replace "OS" and "compiler" fields with "configuration report"; ask for the configuration report banner if we can get it. Otherwise solicit GNU/Linux package information. * Update "input files" field to reflect the fact that groff ships several full-service macro packages these days. Also, the configuration report and failing command line will tell us what we need to know about system/proprietary macro packages being used in preference to groff's alternatives. * Tweak wording.
* Update copyright1.23.0.rc1Bertrand Garrigues2020-11-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | * update-copyright.sh: use gnulib's 'update-copyright' script. Pass this script in directories 'arch', 'contrib', 'font', 'man', 'tmac', 'src' and on a list of extra files. * FOR-RELEASE: mention this point.
* Revert "Update copyright"Bertrand Garrigues2020-10-251-1/+1
| | | | | | This reverts commit a2e955e07354c83939fabffebcf720d3333d1f6b. Some files (COPYING, FDL, bootstrap) should not have been updated
* Set version to 1.23.0 in places that hard-code it.G. Branden Robinson2020-10-251-1/+1
|
* Update copyrightBertrand Garrigues2020-10-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Use gnulib's update-copyright script. * src/roff/groff/groff.cpp: update the printf displayed when 'groff -v' is invoked. * FOR-RELEASE: mention this point.
* Synchronize Emacs and Vim editor settings.G. Branden Robinson2020-04-301-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Also add some settings (mainly fill columns and character encoding hints) to try to prevent chaos.

No non-ASCII characters are present. * BUG-REPORT: Prevent Vim filetype detection (Vim thinks it's a generic configuration file due to the hash-commented legal notice). * contrib/glilypond/ChangeLog.0x: Tell Emacs the file is a "change-log" (not "change-log-mode"). * contrib/glilypond/README.txt: Comment the editor settings as is done in top-level plain text documentation. * contrib/gpinyin/ChangeLog: Set Emacs "version-control" variable to "never", in parallel with ChangeLog files elsewhere. (I'm not sure this is necessary with Git, however; maybe we should be removing them everywhere. If so, that's easy to sed.)
* Make settings comment in text files ecumenical.G. Branden Robinson2020-04-191-1/+1
| | | | Vim modelines go at the end of the file as well.
* Remove instructions to file bugs via bug-groff.G. Branden Robinson2018-11-061-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch courtesy of Dave Kemper. His comments, massaged into GNU changelog format, follow. [The patch] also fixes a couple of trivial errors in grammar, punctuation, etc., that I spotted in the process[]. * PROJECTS: Since the context of bug-groff@gnu.org in this file is not reporting bugs, instead of changing it to point to the bug tracker, I changed the address to that of the groff discussion list. (However, I don't know whether this list is configured to accept email from nonsubscribers, so this may not be a viable change.) * README: * doc/webpage.ms: These files already recommended the bug tracker as the bug-reporting mechanism; they said using the method in the file BUG-REPORT was an alternative. As BUG-REPORT also now points to the bug tracker, I've tweaked this wording. * doc/groff.texi: The address bug-groff@gnu.org was used only once in this file, not as an address to report bugs, but as the email address for Werner Lemberg. I would take this to mean he doesn't want his actual email address in public documentation, except that it appears in many other places throughout groff source code and documentation alike. So it doesn't seem unreasonable to put it in this file as well. I will email him to confirm that this is OK. [I went ahead and removed it; we don't need an email address in the document, IMO. --GBR] * INSTALL.extra: Like README, this cited the file BUG-REPORT as an alternative mechanism. I removed this wording entirely. * BUG-REPORT: * contrib/groffer/README: * contrib/mm/README: * contrib/mm/m.tmac: * contrib/mm/mm/0.MT: * contrib/mm/mm/4.MT: * contrib/mm/mm/5.MT: * contrib/mm/mm/ms.cov: * contrib/mm/mse.tmac: * src/devices/xditview/README: Tweak wording and direct readers to Savannah bug tracker instead of bug-groff mailing list.

* BUG-REPORT: Update quotation style.G. Branden Robinson2018-11-061-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | * BUG-REPORT: Migrate away from roff quotes (and TeX quotes); this is a plain-text document. Also fix bad wording: "you are used to compile groff" -> "you used to compile groff"; thanks to Dave Kemper for this fix. Signed-off-by: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

* Put two spaces between sentences in GPL notice.G. Branden Robinson2017-10-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes half of Savannah #51609 but applies it much more generally. This is a wide-ranging change, but it makes these notices consistent with modern copies of the GPLv3 text. (Some of these files are not GPLv3, but that's where the boilerplate comes from; GPLv2 and LGPLv2.x used semicolons to separate these clauses instead.) If the next resync with Autotools regresses some of these, well, that's a bug in Autotools. I checked with wc -L, and no file grew its longest line to 81 characters due to this change. contrib/hdtbl/hdmisc.tmac-u only: Signed-off-by: Bjarni Ingi Gislason <bjarniig@rhi.hi.is> Blame me for the rest.

[[This repository was stitched together in December 2013 from an incomplete set of early groff release tarballs - versions 1.02 to 1.15 - and the CVS history since shortly before the 1.16 release by Werner Lemberg. CVS commits before Wed Apr 11 22:45:11 2007 lacked commitids; coalescence of those into changesets may not be perfect. The lift was done by Eric S. Raymond using cvs-fast-export and a pre-3.0 version of reposurgeon. Comments double-bracketed like this one were added during the conversion to replace empty log entries.]]
