Normally I would follow the latest stable release, but in practice it's been so long since we did a release that was easier to update from head than a tagged historic release.

Hi James,

cool.
Do you like to have inter-version updates in the web manual, too,
or do you prefer that it reflects the last released version?

Have a nice day,
Berny

The source tree now has a tool for automating these updates, build-aux/update-online-manual.sh.  There is a brief explanation of hwo to use it in find-maint.texi.

Nice catch. Thanks for the report.
Pushed into the web repo:


#55417: fix typo in example

With -execdir, the final ';' must be a separate argument:
- find -execdir sh -c 'something "$@"' sh {}\;
+ find -execdir sh -c 'something "$@"' sh {} \;

This seems to have been a problem with the HTML generation at that time,
because I cannot reproduce this with 'make html' on my system today.

* manual/html_mono/find.html (11.2.1 Problems with -exec and filenames):
Add a space before ";" as shown above.
* manual/html_node/find_html/Problems-with-_002dexec-and-filenames.html: Likewise.
* manual/text/find.txt: Likewise.

This change will be sync'ed to the web server in a couple
of minutes..hours.

Have a nice day,
Berny

I was reading the documentation here, when I came across the command:


find -execdir sh -c 'something "$@"' sh {}\;


Just a space should be added right before the last backslash.

Thank you very much for your enormous and great efforts.
