From d7101a6d31966ee2009db752a6bb223f751c164f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: tailsjoin Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2015 16:43:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] doc: Remove recommendation to add old repos for libd4.8* It is unreasonable to ask to change the global package configuration just to build a package. Not only that, this is potentially harmful to the system. Also do a few punctuation fixes in REST-interface.md.
