Created attachment 219747 [details] svn diff of en_US.ISO8859-1/handbook/ports/chapter.xml I added some wording, to the ports section of the handbook, which makes users aware of the issues of using ports in conjunction with pkg. The igor tool reported only one problem. The problem is related to a contraction, but it's on a line which wasn't edited and is not part of the svn-diff. Please consider the diff and if you think the added explanation is appropriate and accurate please commit it.
A commit references this bug: Author: 0mp Date: Wed Nov 18 10:32:33 UTC 2020 New revision: 54691 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/54691 Log: Add a warning regarding mixing ports(7) and pkg(8) to install software I think it's something that has been missing from the handbook for a long time. Unfortunately, this patch does not explain all the subtleties of the ports framework (like, e.g., that ports create packages during the build process which are then installed via pkg). We should probably hint the reader about it somewhere, but that's something for another patch. What's important here is to warn new users about problems they might encounter. Also, add some examples of working with quarterly with Subversion. PR: 251195 Submitted by: Fred <fjs.usa01 gmail.com> Changes: head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports/chapter.xml
Thanks, I committed the patch with a couple of changes.
Thanks for reviewing and committing the patch. I see that you wrapped the new paragraph/wording in a Warning, that was a good idea. "Also, add some examples of working with quarterly with Subversion." I gave an example under "Procedure 4.2 Subversion Method". Item 5 is an example of switching to a quarterly branch.
(In reply to Fred from comment #3) Oh, this "Also" was supposed to mention things that has been done already :) Sorry for the confusion.
