PATCH: cvswrite.html
- From: Gerald Pfeifer <gerald at pfeifer dot com>
- To: gcc-patches at gcc dot gnu dot org
- Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2003 10:29:26 +0200 (CEST)
- Subject: PATCH: cvswrite.html
Parts of our documentation really are too long, which makes it harder
to find relevant stuff and reduces the chance for contributors to read
all of it.
Refer to overseers@gcc.gnu.org instead of sources.redhat.com.
Shorten notes on first commit, as new maintainer are supposed to read this
whole page anyways.
Remove incorrect information on the use of SSH and compress that section.
Installed.
