Seriously: What I was asking had nothing to do with portupgrade or Ruby belonging to the base system. I just wanted to ask if portupgrade's particular manpage is maintained by the DocProject, because although portupgrade is not part of the base system, it's somehow related coloser to the FreeBSD Project than, for example, lynx or apache. So, while I know that any documentation for the latter mentioned software comes directly from the producers of the software, I just thought that maybe the documentation for portupgrade was at least partly produced in conjunction with the DocProject. Since this is not so, I now know that I'd have to contact the maintainer directly if I wanted to report a problem with the software or its documentation.
