Makefiles for all directories which does not contain index.sgml contain INDEXLINK= assignment and on installing stage INDEXLINK value is linking to index.html. IMHO, it more appropriate to have not any index.sgml in www tree because if I'll want to replace index.html file I have to make patch which will completely replace index.sgml. In current case I just need to commit new file and change one line in Makefile. > Sometimes we use $DIR/$DIR.sgml, other times we use $DIR/index.sgml. Probably better to change all index.sgml names to $DIR.sgml name. -- /* Alexey Zelkin && phantom@cris.net */ /* Tavric National University && phantom@crimea.edu */ /* http://www.ccssu.crimea.ua/~phantom && phantom@FreeBSD.org */ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
