Assigning to Henry to decide what, if anything, we want to do with this info. I've determined that running codespell in 'interactive' (-i 3) mode allows for going through and deciding whether to accept the recommended change or not is pretty quick -- One of the larger files was doc/History9.htm and it took less than 3 minutes to go through. There was one place where it wanted to replace 'grat' with 'great' that I refused since it was (from context) not an error. Running it on files changed during a commit as part of the cluster tests, or as a pre-commit hook with git (on the changed files AND the log message) might help us going forward. Changing to CONFIRMED since I was able to run codespell and see this issue. I would *strongly* suggest we do not want to correct doc/History9.htm - the bulk of the contents of that are trawled directly from the commit comments, and I think we really want to keep the two in sync. That "problem" is similar to the ChangeLog file within many other FOSS projects. If a little bit helpful I could generate a new report excluding the doc/History9.htm file. Jens, No need to generate a new report. I can do that readily enough. Chris, I agree that in order to keep History9.htm sync-ed up with the git commit log, we don't want a hand corrected one to be used. If we do anything, we could auto-correct History9.htm after it is generated during the release process. My exercise in going through that one was to see how long it would take for a file with LOTS of typos to be gone through in interactive mode. BTW, I only found 1 change that I had to reject (grat). That and two words where it offered two choices (one was 'ths', choosing between 'the' and 'this') -- I don't recall the other one. We agreed not to take action on this now, changing the status to "Later" |
