I could even imagine a section in Chapter 2 "Programming Tools", which could be something like "Setting up a FreeBSD development environment", where the (eventually revised) contents of the man page could be rewritten in DocBook. I could do the man page -> DocBook conversion, but without any contributions with regards to contents. If a new section in the Developer's Handbook in inappropriate, then the man page should be at least be linked somewhere. >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: N/A >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
