d3d532c64f * RCS Date string in <date> 
* Add year to <copyright>

 * Explain how you can use CVSup to download the PR database, and then
   teach a local copy of GNATS about the files you've installed, to make
   it easier to query them without being online all the time.

   Prompted by Warner's query on -committers last month.  Doing this is
   actually fairly trivial, but I figure a lot of you'll benefit from it.

 * Change some &prompt.user; to &prompt.root; (as far as I can see, you
   need to run the commands as root).

 * Update a link to point to the Porter's Handbook.

root prompts in front of the commands and removed it from the comment (as they

91d4126935 This is an entirely whitespace change, which applies the new proposed 
indentation/whitespace style.  Translators can ignore this, but should
take note of the style.

I made some slight modifications in regards to the indentation of <screen>,
<informalexample>, and <programlisting> to match the existing style of the
handbook.
