Nuke it altogether. Along with /usr/share/FAQ/Text/ports.FAQ. Probably leave a top level ``README'' with pointers to the relevant locations.

And it's not just packages that do this... there's a lot of these oversights. For example, a binary install should include /usr/src/sbin/sendmail/cf probably under /usr/share somewhere... Oh yes, while on the subject of figuring out how it all goes together, the man page for "amd" points to a document (Amd - The 4.4 BSD Automounter) that doesn't seem to be in /usr/share/docs. Did this fall out? I had to look at the config on freefall to figure out how to set amd up. Ah, there it is, in /usr/src/usr.sbin/amd/doc... where does it put it? Oh! It's TeXinfo... hmmm... the man page doesn't tell you how to get this document. OK, I'll start using "info". Maybe the handbook addresses this... it doesn't seem to be in the binary install either... Where's the handbook get put? I guess it's not ready for installation... /usr/src/share/doc/Makefile doesn't reference it or FAQ at all. Guess I'll texi2html all this stuff. And how do you turn on caching of formatted man pages? Groff is kind of slow on a 386/20.

However, /usr/src/share/FAQ *will* disappear in a day or so. I sent a death announcement to hackers earlier this week. 2.1 will have the FAQ and FreeBSD Handbook installed in /usr/share/doc/(FAQ|handbook) in ascii and HTML.

Specifically, I'd really like to get * printing * kernel config I realize there is quite a lot to do in the kernel config, but what I've seen is a pretty good start. I'm also looking for someone to update relnotes.sgml (the release notes). If someone just submits me text, I can sew it into the handbook. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ============ From owner-freebsd-doc Sat Sep 30 21:36:48 1995 Return-Path: owner-doc Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id VAA04310 for doc-outgoing; Sat, 30 Sep 1995 21:36:48 -0700 Received: from fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu (Fieber-John.campusview.indiana.edu [149.159.1.34]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id VAA04305 for ; Sat, 30 Sep 1995 21:36:46 -0700 Received: (from jfieber@localhost) by fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu (8.6.11/8.6.9) id XAA18522; Sat, 30 Sep 1995 23:35:59 -0500 Date: Sat, 30 Sep 1995 23:35:57 -0500 (EST) From: John Fieber To: Sean Kelly cc: doc@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Printing handbook chapter COMPLETE In-Reply-To: <9510010128.AA25637@emu.fsl.noaa.gov> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-doc@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk On Sat, 30 Sep 1995, Sean Kelly wrote: > Well, at long last, the fool thing's done.

This adds around 40 pages to the handbook and looks to be much more complete than any standard unix admin books I have around... The first sectioning tag should have been instead of I changed it and bumped the first 's up to 's. If you don't like the result, we can re-work it a bit.

Actually, that one (line 441) should've been a reference to the (not yet existent?) kernel configuration chapter. I just checked a realized there was one more BLAH that shouldn't have made it through. Could you take it out (line 931)? I'd recommend rewording like: For more information on the ... see the file ... . and just end the sentence there. John> Okay, now go change that. Take her a honeymoon getaway John> weekend somewhere.
