Right. At this stage, we can do that (keep XML files and Makefile in doc repository and build them on freefall). But I think that method is not "Right thing". In the future, CVS repository should include *only* source file and machine generated file should be built by ${MAKE} on the fly. On the other hand, same informations are stored in many places. Ftp mirror sites are in www, handbook, sysinstall. Ports categories are in www, porters-handbook, sysinstall, bsd.port.mk. I think these data should be handled by more smart way and (IMHO) XML has possibility to achive it. That's why I said we need light XML/XSL tools in base system... -- Jun Kuriyama <kuriyama@imgsrc.co.jp> // IMG SRC, Inc. <kuriyama@FreeBSD.org> // FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
