That's not a sentence.  "takes in parameters the name" should be
reworded.  Something as simple as the word "as" between "in" and
"parameters" would work: ..takes in as parameters the name..

Thanks, I fixed that in the git version.

Also awkward is:  ( from paragraph 3 of s 2.2.10)

"but when running make install the DESTDIR should be set to the absolute name of a directory in which all the installation will be diverted."

Perhaps it would be better re-worded:

"but when running make install the DESTDIR should be set to the absolute name of a directory into which the installation will be diverted."

or

"but when running make install the DESTDIR should be set to the absolute name of a directory into which the package will be installed."
