I second this. It is true that current.freebsd.org and much of do-it-yourself distributions are generated with 'NODOC=YES', since it needs much time and disk spaces to process doc.1 target (especially setting up a DocBook environment). Removing *.TXT files also makes some difficulties when ordinally "make buildworld/installworld" users want to know what changes are made (they should change their CVSup configulation file, checkout doc if the repository is CVSuped, install DocBook via ports, and run make(1) to get a plaintext of release notes). Just like current 'doc' distribution of 'NODOC=YES', it would be helpful that *.TXT files are in src/release. -- - Makoto `MAR' MATSUSHITA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
