Subject:   * Sec. "The master server": note that problems on Debian ftp can be sent
X-Git-Url: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~ianmdlvl/git?p=developers-reference.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=0c1a32b72e934f36cc741c58764d9935e0a11fd6

  * Sec. "The master server": note that problems on Debian ftp can be sent
    to ftpmaster@debian.org also
  * Secs. "Uploads via chiark" and "Uploads via erlangen": remove
    'cron-driven' (thanks Roman Hodek)
  * Sec. "Being Kind to Porters": typos corrected, note that binary-arch
    and binary-indep targets should work independantly (thanks Roman
    Hodek)
  * Sec. "buildd": remove erroneous reference to debbuild, reorganize the
    section and correct typos (thank again Roman -- boy, this is the all
    Roman release)
