2015-01-31doc,maint: fix use of "i.e." in documentation and commentsBernhard Voelker
To align with all other places (and correct grammar), change all upper-case "I.E." to "I.e.". Furthermore, ensure that "i.e." is followed by a comma. Finally, ensure to use a double-space before "I.e.," at the beginning of a sentence. The following was used to change all offending uses (apart from old ChangeLog files): $ git grep -liF 'i.e.' \ | xargs sed -i \ -e 's/I\.E\./I.e./g' \ -e 's/\. \(I\.e\.\)/. \1/g' \ -e 's/\([Ii]\.e\.\)\( \)/\1,\2/g' \ -e 's/\([Ii]\.e\.\)$/\1,/g' * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_uppercase_id_est): Add new rule. (sc_ensure_double_space_after_dot_before_id_est): Likewise. (sc_ensure_comma_after_id_est): Likewise.

2010-03-19doc: tweak README-prereq againJim Meyering
* README-prereq: Change one more: s/coreutils/This package/
2010-03-19doc: make README-prereq more genericJim Meyering
* README-prereq: Adjust wording and reduce number of mentions of "coreutils", so it's easier to reuse in another package: grep.
2010-01-12maint: update info about getting the prerequisite automakePádraig Brady
* README-prereq: Now that we require automake-1.11.1 update the instructions from getting it from the git repo
2009-12-30maint: improve the info about $PATH in README-prereqPádraig Brady
* README-prereq: It wasn't obvious that the $PATH should be set before building any of the prerequisite packages, so move that information up.
2009-07-03maint: generalize the development prerequisites docsPádraig Brady
* README-hacking: Add a little more high level info and merge notes on specific developer prerequisites into README-prereq * README-prereq: Remove the Fedora 8 specific information and generalize the information to be applicable to any system.
2009-06-03doc: adjust wording in README-prereqJim Meyering
2009-06-03doc: use newer URL for XZ utilsJim Meyering

2009-06-03doc: adjust README-prereq instructionsMatěj Cepl
* README-prereq: Mention new requirement on automake-1.11, with its new location and updated dependency on autoconf-2.62. Remove the reference to coreutils-7.0 so that this file implicitly refers to the latest or release version of coreutils. Fix and clarify the instructions for updating the $PATH.

2009-04-07maint: Clarify ambiguous refs to Linux kernels or GNU/Linux systemsPádraig Brady

2009-04-02doc: adjust README-prereq instructionsJim Meyering
* README-prereq: Reverse order of -b/--track options. Pádraig Brady mentioned that is required with at least git-1.5.3.6. Invoke automake's own bootstrap script.
2009-04-02build: require automake-1.10b or newerC de-Avillez
* bootstrap.conf: Require at least automake-1.10b. * README-prereq: Mention 1.10b, not 1.10a.
2009-03-12maint: mention Autoconf version required to build AutomakePádraig Brady
* README-prereq: coreutils currently requires an unreleased version of Automake, so mention the minimum version of Autoconf required to build that. Suggestion from James Youngman.

* README-hacking: mention XZ utils * README-prereq: Add a FIXME comment.
2008-10-22Add better checks and docs for build toolsPádraig Brady
Prompted by a report from Ed Avis: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/14710> * README-hacking: Organise LZMA and Valgrind as as optional requirements rather than in their own sections. Mention bootstrap will now check tool versions. * README-prereq: Make a start on specific instructions for optaining build tools. Currently we just have notes for Fedora linux. * bootstrap.conf: Add the list of tools and versions required. * bootstrap: Add the logic to check for the required tools, and list all required tools and versions if any are missing.
