Event Timeline

jpb_jimby.name created this revision.

Added new QEMU text (part 1 of 2) and added all image files.

I did a quick first pass since I had a bit of energy remaining.

Out of curiosity, are you using textproc/igor and vale?

documentation/content/en/books/handbook/virtualization/_index.adoc
1292–1295

One sentence per line.

1306–1307

One sentence per line.

1313–1314

One sentence per line.

1343

I feel like this line is a bit awkward, so I've suggested something else.

1392

Errant period.

1402–1403

One sentence per line.

1425

This will give incorrect sizes on filesystems with inline compression, which include ZFS on a default FreeBSD install, so I'd recommend using -A.

1447–1448

One sentence per line.

1560–1591

The FreeBSD handbook already has a section on dealing with Xorg (and Wayland), so I think this should refer to that instead.

1610

Errant period.

1630

Errant period.

Updating entire text of QEMU Virtualization Chapter in Handbook

Did a pass on the remaining bit that was added, but it's entirely possible I've missed something.

documentation/content/en/books/handbook/virtualization/_index.adoc
1471

Errant period.

1471

Errant period.

1481

Errant period.

1494

Capitalization.

1674

Errant period.

1679

This feels like a dangling sentence, can it be worked into the line above somehow?

1738

Errant period and space.

1783

This shouldn't be on a newline, since it belongs after the colon above.

1787

Errant period.

1818

This might need wordsmithing a bit, to better flow with the list above, or might need to be included in the list above? Not entirely sure.

1836

Errant period.

1860

Errant period.

1868

Starting a sentence with "Then.." only works if it's as a consequence of what precedes it, so I think this needs to be wordsmithed a bit.

1922

Errant period.

1941

Errant period.

1970

Errant period.

2007

Errant period.

2032

Errant period.

2040

Errant period.

Did a pass on the remaining bit that was added, but it's entirely possible I've missed something.

It seems that my previous replies have not been submitted, though I don't know why.

Anyway, here is a consolidated look at your comments.

All of the "Errant period" comments fall into one of two categories:

  1. Ordered lists - these are the "period at beginning of line followed by space" variety. Ordered lists are covered in the FDP Primer, section 6.4.1
  2. Image captions - these are the "period at beginning of line followed by text" variety. Image captions are covered in the FDP Primer in section 7.1 under the "Images" row in the table.

I will mark all of those comments "Done".

Regarding

  • "Capitalization" at line 704 - vale insisted on lower case, so I used lower case, though it didn't seem right to me. I will change it back to "ZFS".
  • Comments at 889, 993, and 1028 I will fix.
  • At 1078, the sentence starting with "Then..." is the middle sentence of a series of three sentences in the text. Seems like it fits well to me. Let me know if you agree. Happy to change. Take a look at the online version at:

https://www.jimby.name/fbsd_docs/documentation/public/en/books/handbook/virtualization/index.html#qemu-using-monitor-manage-snapshots

Thanks for your review. I will post another update tomorrow.

documentation/content/en/books/handbook/virtualization/_index.adoc
1392

I don't see an errant period. The first period is for continuing the numbered list. The second period is part of the [.filename] asciidoc sequence. The third period is the end of the sentence.

1560–1591

The Handbook section for Xorg is delves into the minutiae of video cards and xorg.conf details which are not relevant here. There is also no discussion of setting up a desktop manager such as XFCE. The section as written has the minimum detail needed to get a functional desktop and punts to the XFCE site for usage.

1610

This construction is used as the caption for the images. Removing the period causes the image to disappear. Removing the entire line causes the caption to disappear.

1630

Used for the image caption. See previous comment.

Hoping all my "Done"s are now submitted!

Aah, that makes sense, I'd missed/forgotten that.

Fair enough, I guess it makes sense - it's just that in the source code, it stands out more because of the one sentence per line thing that AsciiDoc uses.

Just one minor nit, fixable on commit.

Nit while here.
