Hello, Currently, it's difficult for the average user to update his docs. Most of time, the docs are installed during OS install time and are never updated. Another problem is the fact the doc build requires a lot of diskspace and a lot of time on slow architectures/CPUs/etc which is a problem during release process. To sum up, we're lacking of a simple way to install and update docs without any compilation operation. I'm working since a while on ports for doc, so here are the first packages available for test: http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/bn-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/da-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/de-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/el-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/en-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/es-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/fr-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/hu-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/it-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/ja-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/mn-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/nl-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/pl-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/pt-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/ru-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/sr-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/tr-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/zh_cn-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/zh_tw-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz These packages provide html-split version (of course other formats are possible, I just want to limit the bandwidth) of the 20081130 docset. Another thing to note, the packages install docs in /usr/local/share/doc/freebsd So just: pkg_add -r http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/pkgs/en-freebsd-doc-20081130.tbz and tell me if you like it :) -- Marc
