Unfortunately, FreeBSD is not completely self-hosting for arbitrary versions, because the ports needed for the docs build out are not chcked into FreeBSD's source repository. The best suggestion I have is to find an older version, and copy it into your local ports directory, which will keep it from being downloaded (and therefore have incorrect contents) during the build, since, as I said before, the build process copies local ports files into the chroot's distfiles directory, which avoids the download. What could have been a problem on machines that were unsynchronized can now save you from the FreeBSD source tree self hosting bugs with regard to docs). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
