I'm aware that the script seems to have issues with picking up the titles from lowercase HTML, I've been busy with other things recently, but I will get that working. >> Ultimately, I think the best person to tweak the DOCS file would be >> the maintainer of the port.

Agreed. We'll see what reaction we get from -ports when we ask them. But I would think that those ports whose maintainers are 'no longer with us' will need to be updated by ourselves. >> Once we're sure about what we need them to do, this really needs to >> go to -docs, at least for commenting on if not actioning it. >> >> Your wrapper is still useful though, because it'll allow us to give >> the -ports crowd the largest possible head start, by letting us >> create a large number of DOCS file to begin with. >> >> I'm gonna fiddle with the docsmaker script a little more then, if >> no-one else has any other comments, I'll take it to -docs. >> > > One thing, docindex.pl has the old /usr/share/doc/{handbook,FAQ} > paths.

These represent problem reports covering all versions including experimental development code and obsolete releases. Bugs can be in one of several states: o - open A problem report has been submitted, no sanity checking performed. a - analyzed The report has been examined by a team member and evaluated. f - feedback The problem has been solved, and the originator has been given a patch or a fix has been committed. The PR remains in this state pending a response from the originator. s - suspended The problem is not being worked on. This is a prime candidate for somebody who is looking for a project to do. If the problem cannot be solved at all, it will be closed, rather than suspended. c - closed A problem report is closed when any changes have been integrated, documented, and tested.

I'm not 100% sure what you're saying here, but it appears to be "let's go back to a single grey space after a period". I'm not really happy about this, since an alternative might be to get XML to make the decision. In any case, if you do do this, it would be nice to have modified Emacs macros which will still find the ends of sentences.

What has gone wrong? I've seen this before and fixed it by deleting /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/book.html before re-building. When I do this I noticed that when jade(1) is run the command line has `` > book.html'' appended to it. marder-1# cd /usr/doc marder-1# make all && make install ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1 ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/committers-guide ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/diskless-x ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/fonts ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/formatting-media ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/mh ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/multi-os ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/new-users ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/programming-tools ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1/books ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq /usr/local/bin/jade -V html-manifest -ioutput.html -c /usr/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/../../../share/sgml/catalog -c /usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl/modular/catalog -c /usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/catalog -c /usr/local/share/sgml/jade/catalog -d /usr/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/../../../share/sgml/freebsd.dsl -t sgml /usr/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml tidy -i -m -f /dev/null *.html *** Error code 1 (ignored) gzip -9 -c book.html > book.html.gz [.....] ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1/books ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq install -C -o root -g wheel -m 444 book.html.gz /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq install -C -o root -g wheel -m 444 `xargs < HTML.manifest` /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq install -C -o root -g wheel -m 444 book.html /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq ===> en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/fdp-primer [....] -- STATE-OF-THE-ART: Any computer you can't afford.

I noticed this myself yesterday, but haven't had the time to do anything about it yet. Fix is to change "tidy *" to "tidy `xargs < HTML.manifest`". I'll take care of it in a second.

The tutorials are still installed in tutorials/ for now, and the html-split version includes an index.html, so these old links work fine.

Wrf Inc. trades in dynamic environment where it is essential that information is presented quickly and clearly to its staff. The information can come from the company's database or from other staff members. Significant processing of the information is also required on each individual's personal computer (PC) before effective decision can be made. Wrf Inc. intends to upgrade its computer system to improve speed and clarity of information. Each member of staff will have a PC linked to a local area network (LAN). Each PC will run on Windows 3.1 and a word-processor and a spreadsheet on its local hard disk. The network will be used for centralised back-up, access to a central database and storage of data files. The LAN will also be used for communication within the office by E-mail. The Systems analyst in charge of the project thinks that users will require 386 processor running at 20 megahertz with two megabytes of RAM. The network will incoporate a central server file server and run at a low baud rate. he is pleased that the system will cost only about $6000 per user. The system analyst is on fixed-term contract, which terminates when the system installation is complete. Users have broadly welcomed the move,although they have not been formally told about the systems change. The requistioning departments of WRF Inf.has now questioned the order for the computer hardware and software because of the lack of authorisation from the board. Tasks : You are required to write a report ( of about 15000 to 2000 words long ) to the Board, briefly explaining the system development life cycle (SDCL), and explaining why it is prefered to the situation outlined above as a means of providing a systems changeover for WRF Inc.
