Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer

2021-12-31 15:10:13 UTC

At least: under <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/porting-dads/#dads-noinstall-variables> there are two dead links to cgit URLs for Apache. 

Output from a random check, which I'll not attach here, implied a number of other potential/probable dead links in Chapter 13 (checked at/around 17:00 GMT on 2021-12-30). 

I suspect that there'll be more dead links in other chapters.

Comment 1 Graham Perrin freebsd_committer

Two more not found, from a very brief visual check: 

<https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/www/apache*/pkg-descr>

<https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/dns/bind99/pkg-descr>

I'll perform a more methodical check for dead links at a later date.
