^Triage: change to Individual Ports. The Manual Page classification is only for code from the FreeBSD base system (grep(1), fstab(5), and so on.) There seems to be an misunderstanding due to a poor phrasing of the original summery on my part I suppose ( FreeBSD Manual Pages - man.cgi - Manual of port x11-wm/twm displays incorrect system.twmrc path ). The manual page twm(1) of port x11-wm/twm, build and installed on a system, is NOT affected as the current summary suggests! What affected is the cgi ( man.cgi script ) generated twm(1) online manual at https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=twm&arch=default&format=html. The issue is with the "FreeBSD Manual Pages" website, https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi , not with the port. Under these circumstances which "Product" and "Component" should be chosen? This was corrected in the port in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246127 https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=533777 three months ago, so it's definitely on the quarterly branch by now. So the question is: - How often are man.cgi pages regenerated? - What does that process look like (is it documented anywhere)? According to https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi/help.html wosch knows more about the setup. The code for man.cgi is in en_US.ISO8859-1/htdocs/cgi/man.cgi. So as soon as a new release is done, the script uses that release and ports tree for the results. As long as the update is not yet in any release, the old man page will be displayed. And: there's no page to display the manuals of the head of the ports tree or from the quarterly tree. I just updated the ports manpages for 12.1-RELEASE |
The online twm(1) manual generated by man.cgi of port x11-wm/twm displays incorrect system.twmrc path in the FILES section: FILES $HOME/.twmrc._screen number_ $HOME/.twmrc /usr/local/lib/X11/twm/system.twmrc ^^^ The path should be /usr/local/share/X11/twm/system.twmrc as correct displayed ^^^^^ in the CUSTOMIZATION section. https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=twm&arch=default&format=html The twm(1) manual installed by the port on system displays for all system.twmrc occurrences the correct path.
