errata for X server infoleak

2015-03-03 Thread Ted Unangst
Patches are now available to fix an information leak in the XkbSetGeometry request of X servers. For more information, see the X.org advisory. We experienced a slight delay getting patches out, as you can see from the date in the patch. This is a comparatively minor issue so we didn't rush things

Re: qsort.3 big O notation

2015-03-03 Thread Thomas Schmidt
In the most recent algorithms lecture I heard we used log for base 2, ln for base e, and lg for base 10. But asymptotically the base doesn't matter and the notation coventions differ. So I'd also go for consistency with other documentation. On March 3, 2015 5:48:20 PM CET, frantisek holop wro

i was looking at the qsort(3) man page, and saw "O N lg N", etc. first i thought, maybe there should be some fancy utf8 math parentheses around, but looking at the source, no, it's plain ascii. a quick search in other man pages reveals an arguably more readable style: ./share/man/man3/queue.3:o
