This is analogous to the reorg I did for the release notes about a month prior to that. It's still a little rough around the edges but as far as I can tell everything works (heh). Translation teams: Presuming that you want to track this reorganization, you'll need to set the HWNOTES_MI Makefile variable in your hardware/Makefile in order to get the auto-generated device listings correct. (Until you do this, the hardware notes translations should build exactly as they did before.) Once all of the active translations have caught up, I want to nuke the backward compatibility goop that was required to make this work. Thanks to simon@ for some good ideas and help with this part. The recent commit messages for src/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/hardware/article.sgml, as well as src/release/doc/share/misc/man2hwnotes.pl rev. 1.14, have more details. Bruce. PS. It appears that there are a number of translations of the release documentation that aren't actively maintained in FreeBSD CVS (maybe they're maintained externally, which is fine). Unlike (say) translations of the handbook, documents such as the release notes get stale really quickly. I'd like to encourage translation teams to reap unmaintained translations of the release documentation...a quick pass hints that de_DE, fr_FR, ja_JP, and ru_RU are potential candidates for th= is. --------------enig6D5A3721C804B81DDB473FAF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF1Rpr2MoxcVugUsMRAkifAKCQyW3tpIi+I+Jgqz8XrFbDIGwndwCeP8mr MIxLiZzZ5k9X5Q8j+ALe9qY= =l5g2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig6D5A3721C804B81DDB473FAF--
