From c2f7b97924e2b5341cea667fbd1a2802e9cb8cd5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason St. John" Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2012 16:03:09 -0400 Subject: Correct spelling and grammar throughout This patch addresses the issues with my previous patch submission here: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-projects/2012-June/002990.html The notable changes between this patch and the previous one are below: -- this patch does not rename set_timezone() -- 'filesystems' and 'bash' are left as-is -- everything is in one patch, not two -- the 'makedepends' change is no longer relevant because the duplication of it was already removed in a later commit Regarding the capitalization of "Btrfs", it seems that upstream prefers "Btrfs".[1][2] Regarding 'https://' vs. 'http://', I left this change in the patch because stating 'https://www.archlinux.org' in the start-up messages doesn't force anyone to use HTTPS over HTTP. It simply shows that HTTPS is available for use. If someone really doesn't want to use HTTPS, they don't have to. Finally, Dan McGee stated that HTTPS will be used all the time soon.[3] [1] https://oss.oracle.com/projects/btrfs/ [2] https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page [3] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30486#comment96222 Signed-off-by: Jason St. John --- rc.conf.5.txt | 46 +++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------- 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) (limited to 'rc.conf.5.txt') diff --git a/rc.conf.5.txt b/rc.conf.5.txt index 347aba7..debb789 100644 --- a/rc.conf.5.txt +++ b/rc.conf.5.txt @@ -16,21 +16,21 @@ DESCRIPTION ----------- The /etc/rc.conf file is the system configuration file for Arch-specific settings.
