Hi, Thanks for taking the time to write a patch for the release notes. I have two remarks: * It is not clear to me that this is a valid patch against the original source of the release notes (SVN)[1]. I can certainly extract the relevant parts and apply it manually, but this is inefficient use of our time (yours and mine) in the long run. * The second "hunk" of the patch seems better suited for the installation-guide. The release notes concerns itself with upgrades and does not cover the debian-installer. The original source of the release notes is at [2]. There is a git clone maintained by Julien at [3] if you prefer git over SVN. To build the release notes (for a single language and architecture), you run: make html LINGUA="en" architecture=amd64 Which would build the English HTML version for amd64. The generated output will be in en/release-notes.amd64.html/index.en.html. NB: Some parts of the build system assumes you have a subversion checkout. The above command does not, but if you simply run "make" without any arguments you will trigger some of them. ~Niels [1] I would be expecting you to modify a file called "en/issues.dbk"... and I am not sure what the "numbers" at the beginning of each line is doing in an XML document, but...
