This corresponds to the man page I have for Software version: REL_16_1 Protocol version: 16.1 However, slightly later, in the section entitled 'The refuse file', it claims that the default value for base (if it is not defined for your cvsupfile) is /usr/sup . Also confusing here is that it claims that the refuse file belongs in base/sup/refuse , while saying that a base value of /usr/sup produces a refuse file result of /usr/sup/refuse (while if base were actually /usr/sup, this should produce a refuse file of /usr/sup/sup/refuse, i think). >How-To-Repeat: See above web page >Fix: Correct the conflicting defaults to base. Since i was reading this section in preparation for contributing to the doc project, I will try to fix this if i can (a) verify what the current cvsup thinks that the default value for base is, and (b) if i can check out the doc files for editing. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
