In the original 4.4 code, the documentation was built with the binaries. There was some reason why we didn't want to do that -- I don't remember what it was -- and built it from share/doc instead (as was the case in FreeBSD 1.x). (Or perhaps it was not built at all -- I'd have to dig far back in time to find the answer.) Eventually I came to the conclusion that whatever reason we had back then, it was completely wrong and we should build the program-specific documents in conjunction with the programs themselves. The general (mostly historical) documents should probably migrate out to the doc tree, which we didn't have at the time. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
