Description Kim Scarborough 2002-10-27 15:30:08 UTC 
	The example cvsup file for docs defaults to putting stuff in /usr/doc. Surely it should be
	/usr/share/doc?

How-To-Repeat: 	1) Don't read the comment about the default prefix in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile
	2) cvsup your docs tree off the example supfile
	3) Get really confused because nothing in /usr/share/docs has been touched

No.  What you downloaded through cvsup is the *source* for the
documents, not the output.  This is exactly the same as cvsup'ing 
the main system and having it put into /usr/src.  If you want to
build the documents from source, you need to install the docproj
port.  If all you want is updates to /usr/share/doc, then I
recommend downloading the documentation directly, as described
(for example) in the front page of the FreeBSD handbook.

                              The latest version of this document is always
   available from the FreeBSD web site. It may also be downloaded in a
   variety of formats and compression options from the FreeBSD FTP server or
   one of the numerous mirror sites. If you would prefer to have a hard copy
   of the handbook, you can purchase one at the FreeBSD Mall. You may also
   want to search the handbook.

As Lowell pointed out, the path is correct, since you are retrieving the 
source of the doc tree.
