Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer

2021-08-27 08:24:48 UTC

Abstract <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/#preamble> leads readers to <https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/doc/en/books/handbook/>, where, for example: 

* the FreeBSD Handbook is significantly outdated 
  (revision 0d4371e5cc, 2021-01-18). 

misc/freebsd-doc-en installs a much more recent edition (2021-08-14 at the time of writing). 

Please: 

1. consider including <https://www.freshports.org/misc/freebsd-doc-en/> amongst the links in the abstract of the Handbook

2. update content in the download.freebsd.org area

– thank you.

Looks like these were missed in the migration to Git.  I'll try to find out where they're being generated.  Thanks for the report.

(In reply to Philip Paeps from comment #1)

Thanks. 

Now, short HTML pages such as <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/#preamble> include a link a PDF that's long, but not entirely complete: 

<https://download.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/handbook_en.pdf>

PDF documents are being generated every week on Mondays for now.

The infrastructure part is completed.

Closing this bug, any issues with PDF documents, please open doc PRs (you can also CC me).
Thank you.
