It's probably just me. I was taught in school not to create one sentence paragraphs, which is consistent through a few files I thought; like: "<p> When you don't want Portage to take a certain package or a specific version of a package into account you can mask it yourself by adding an appropriate line to <path>/etc/portage/package.mask</path>. </p> <p> For instance, if you don't want Portage to install newer kernel sources than <c>development-sources-2.6.8.1</c>, you add the following line to <path>package.mask</path>: </p>" Two one sentence paragraphs. It's possibly a readability thing, but it got to me when I saw it consistently across files. When I read that when translating it feels like we are repeating in the second paragraph what we just said in the one above. No big deal, just a bit tired after the longest translation session so far.
