[Christophe Jarry]

Dear developers,

While reading

today, I found variable SIGWINCH has no definition.

Please add the definition of the variable SIGWINCH in

Manual: `select' builtin command not present in "Index of Shell Builtin Commands"

[Christophe Jarry]

Dear developers,

Today, I read
http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Bash-Variables.html#index-COLUMNS-179
and discovered that `select' builtin command was not present in
http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Builtin-Index.html#Builtin-Index
although it was present in
http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Conditional-Constructs.html#Conditional-Constructs.

Please add `select' builtin command to
http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Builtin-Index.html#Builtin-Index.

Thanks,

Christophe

Bash 4.1 documentation don't follow GNU maintainers guidelines

[Christophe Jarry]

Dear developers,

I downloaded bash-4.1 source code today and found the following content in
bash.0, bash.1 and bash.html, which are in directory doc:

Bash is Copyright (C) 1989-2009 by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Format "1989-2009" is in contradiction with the "Information for Maintainers of
GNU Software", section "Copyright Notices" [1]:

A copyright notice looks like this:

Copyright (C) year1, year2, year3 copyright-holder

And:

You can use a range (‘2008-2010’) instead of listing individual years
(‘2008, 2009, 2010’) if and only if: 1) every year in the range, inclusive,
really is a “copyrightable” year that would be listed individually; and 2)
you make an explicit statement in a ‘README’ file about this usage. 

I did not find such a statement in the README file.

Please fix this.

Manual: parentheses mismatch in '6.7 Arrays'

[Christophe Jarry]

Dear developers,

I read the page of the BASH manual about Arrays
(http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Arrays.html#Arrays) today
and found a parentheses mismatch in the first paragraph in the following part:

(including arithmetic expressions (see Shell Arithmetic)

Which should instead read:

(including arithmetic expressions (see Shell Arithmetic))

Please fix it.
