Here's what I noticed when reviewing the onnv-gate README.  If nobody
gets to fixing these before tomorrow, I can work on it.

Update to match new mount points, and include information on closed
repository.

snapshots.html will need review once we've gotten the biweekly snapshots
working with Mercurial.  (And can someone please fix it not to get the
stylesheet from on10.sfbay?)

"fromthe" -> "from the"

> Gate-related mail:
> 
>     If you do a bringover from the onnv gate, you will automatically
>     be added to the alias <onnv-gate at onnv.eng>.  This alias is for
>     broadcasting general information, not for gatekeeper requests.
>     Mail to this alias is archived in /ws/onnv-gate/public/mail.
> 
>     You will also be added to the alias <onnv-gate-notify at onnv.eng>.
>     This alias sends automatic notification when the contents of the
>     gate change (e.g. putbacks).  If for some reason you feel that you
>     shouldn't be receiving such notifications, remove your address from
>     /ws/onnv-gate/public/notify.  This file is publicly writable.  We
>     advise, however, that you remain on the notification alias if you
>     intend to putback any changes into the gate.

IIRC, we're changing how these aliases will be managed, so this text
will need some editing.

> Bringing over
> -------------
> 
>     Anyone is welcome to bring over.  You should do your initial
>     bringover from the clone, which is available at:
> 
>         /ws/onnv-clone (or /net/onnv.eng/export/clone)

Fix the /net path and add the ssh URL.  Include information on the
closed repository.

>     Generally, you should bringover from the clone to avoid locking
>     out putbacks to onnv-gate.  Bringovers should only be performed
>     from onnv-gate on onnv.eng for final testing before you putback
>     a fix, and they should be small if possible.

Delete.

>     The clone is updated nightly from /ws/onnv-gate around 11PM Pacific time,
>     Please make sure your putback or bringover does not bump up against the
>     nightly clone update.  The builds are run off the clone.

Update to match current approach (updates happen with each push, clone
is tagged nightly).  It's not possible for someone to mess up the
nightly tag (right?), so delete the 2nd sentence ("Please make sure...").

> Building
> --------
> 
> Nightly builds:
> 
>     The official build is run nightly; it is a full build of usr/src,
>     from scratch.  This also builds cscope and tags databases for
>     usr/src/uts and each platform subdirectory, plus cscope for all of
>     usr/src.

"full build of usr/src" could imply that only the open source is built;
update text as needed.  Similar issue for "plus cscope for all of
usr/src".

> Doing the putback:

I suppose we could fix all references to "putback" or "putting back".  I
don't think generic usage will cause confusion, so I haven't noted those
references.  I've tried to note references to the putback(1) command.

>     Follow the procedure below when doing final bringover in preparation for
>     your putback.
>         You can do your bringover from /ws/onnv-gate, but we'd prefer if you
>         could minimize the impact of your bringover by just bringing over the
>         individual files that have been changed since yesterday.
> 
>         A strategy to sync up with the gate that does not involve locking the
>         gate against putbacks for so long would be to first do a bringover -n
>         from the gate.  Then you can extract the resulting list of files that
>         need to be brought over into a script, and bringover just those files.
>         Even a list of a couple hundred files can usually be brought over in
>         a minute or two.
> 
>         If you have sync'd fairly recently, it may be quicker to use the rp
>         script than `bringover -n` to generate the list of files that need to
>         be brought over.

Update to match new gate structure and tools.

>     This is a general overview of the putback process.  More information
>     is available at http://onnv.eng/puttingback.html.

>     putback checklist at http://onnv.eng.sun.com/putback.html.

See comments below on puttingback.html and putback.html.

>     1. Diff your files with those in the parent.  If you see any
>        differences that don't look like your changes, STOP!  You
>        probably just need to do a bringover, BUT: if bringover doesn't
>        generate a conflict on that file, then you have somehow performed
>        a silent mismerge.  DO NOT PROCEED ANY FURTHER!  Please read
>        /ws/onnv-gate/public/docs/mismerge for a description of the
>        problem, and how to resolve it.

See comments below on public/docs/mismerge.

Fix references to "bringover", esp. "if bringover doesn't generate...".

>     3. All changed files should have copyrights with the current year

>     4. Ensure that the SCCS files in your workspace contribute at most
>        one delta to their parent.  Revisions of depth greater than 1
>        are only permissible if multiple bugs are fixed in a single
>        putback, and it is believed to be beneficial to have separate
>        deltas.  If this is the case, however, separate putbacks may be
>        a wiser choice.  Under no circumstances should there be multiple
>        deltas for a single bug, RFE, ARC case, etc. per file per putback.
> 
>        It is necessary, and usually sufficient, to list the bugs, RFEs,

Needs some slight editing (no longer using SCCS).

Delete (and renumber items below as needed).

>            4254171 DT_SPARC_REGISTER has invalid value associated with it.
> 
>        In particular, bug fixes should have comments of the form:
> 
>            <ARC case ID><single space><case title>
>            <bugid><single space><verbatim bug synopsis>
> 
>        Where as many ARC cases as are relevant should be grouped, followed

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/muskoka/on_dev/golden_rules.txt:

I'd like to retire the version in /shared/ON/general_docs, but that
might not be possible because of the references in rule 20 to internal
documentation.  (If those internal-only documents are still useful, it'd
be good to clean them up and make them available externally, but that
might be more than we want to tackle right now.)
