Package: hardening-includes Version: 2.7 Severity: minor Tags: newcomer Dear Maintainer,
currently, the manpage for hardening-check contains a few typos and broken sentences that make it hard to read. These are what I found while reading it (via "man hardening-check") : - Section "Fortify Source functions", sentence "This causes certain unsafe glibc functions [sic]with their safer counterparts (e.g. strncpy instead of strcpy)" -> Missing "to be replaced" at my mark? - Same section, end of the sentence, "insteade[sic]" -> s/insteade/instead/ - All "-no*" options: "No[sic] not require that the checked binaries be built" -> Did you mean "Do not"? - Why can't the program "codespell" find these typos? At the very minimum, "insteade" should be detected. Resolving this might uncover further typos. - Probably separate thing: What is "hardening-check.sh" do? It seems to duplicate the functionality, contain a broken old version of the man page, and is not in the BZR repository. If the answer on most of those is "yes", I can try to make a patch for it.
