* This experimental commit removes all $FreeBSD$ strings from the FDPWarren Block2017-06-071-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Primer because these continually-changing strings interfere with PO translations. They text version in the file is also potentially inaccurate. The FreeBSD=%H property has also been removed from these files, although without $FreeBSD$ strings, it has no effect. The fbsd:nokeywords property has been set to "yes" to allow the commit. NO INFORMATION HAS BEEN LOST. The version control information is stored in the metadata and can be retrieved with 'svn info [file]'. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=50331

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | most widely used. This is not really a change of policy, just documenting the current de facto policy. Quoting blackend (but don't blame this commit on him): CD-ROM seems to be the more widely used spelling, most of new additions use CD-ROM, "legacy" docs use CDROM. Since CD-ROM may be seen as the right solution, let's keep the old spelling for the moment and just use CD-ROM in every new additions. Semi-intresting google statistics: 9,950,000 hits for CDROM, 28,800,000 hits for "CD-ROM". PR: docs/77535 Submitted by: Jesus R. Camou <jcamou@cox.net> Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=23838
