--- Begin Message ---Package: release-notes Severity: normal Tags: patch In upgrading.dbk, Section 4.3.3 "Adding APT source from CD-ROM or DVD" has: 1) references to /cdrom throughout ...but apparently that's not obsolete quite yet; it's only Wheezy's apt-cdrom that's FHS-compliant and uses /media/cdrom (see #611569). Do we know if users will need any special advice for handling the switch? 2) references to /dev/hdc These days that would be /dev/sr0 or /dev/scd0 or something, but presumably we should be talking about the /dev/cdrom symlink, right? 3) no references to Blu-ray Discs We offer images for DVD and (via jigdo only) BD, but this section talks almost exclusively about "CDs" (and "the CD-ROM drive"), with only one mention of DVDs and none of Blu-ray. Should we perhaps make the cover-term "optical media" in the title, and phrase things so we can fit in a reference to "CDs (or DVDs or Blu-ray Discs)" the first time it comes up in the text? Or perhaps we could treat "CDs" as the cover-term, so it's "from CDs" in the title, and put an expanded version in the first place where it's mentioned in the text - "optical media (that is, CDs, DVDs, or Blu-ray Discs)". My patch goes for /dev/cdrom, and "optical media" in the title. (I also pluralise "sources" in the title, bringing it in line with the other section titles. Even if I'm only adding one such APT source, other people on other occasions follow the same procedure.) -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular packageIndex: upgrading.dbk =================================================================== --- upgrading.dbk (revision 9683) +++ upgrading.dbk (working copy) @@ -519,9 +519,10 @@ </section> <section id="cdroms"> -<title>Adding APT source from CD-ROM or DVD</title> +<title>Adding APT sources from optical media</title> <para> -If you want to use CDs <emphasis>only</emphasis>, comment out the existing +If you want to use <emphasis>only</emphasis> CDs +(or DVDs or Blu-ray Discs), comment out the existing <quote><literal>deb</literal></quote> lines in <filename>/etc/apt/sources.list</filename> by placing a hash sign (<literal>#</literal>) in front of them. </para> @@ -529,12 +530,12 @@ Make sure there is a line in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> that enables mounting your CD-ROM drive at the <filename>/cdrom</filename> mount point (the exact <filename>/cdrom</filename> mount point is required for -<command>apt-cdrom</command>).
