             Bug #: 13673

            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

patch for incorrect FSF snail mail addresses

The glibc sources contain 6,290 incorrect snail-mail
addresses for the FSF.  They're incorrect because the FSF
has moved.  Rather than fix them, it's better to replace
them with a stable URL, so that we don't have to change them
the next time the FSF moves.  This is what the GNU coding
standards recommend these days.

I'm attaching a patch to do this.  I generated it partly by
hand, so it'd be nice if it got folded into the trunk before
it got too stale.  The patch is large (about 4 MB), so I've
attached it compressed.

The patch contains three parts.  The first part is the bulk
of of the patch, and patches only comments.  Here's an
example:
