Bug 49014

Summary: incorrect tip in /usr/src/games/fortune/datfiles/freebsd-tips
Product: Documentation Reporter: George Hartzell <hartzell>
Component: Books & ArticlesAssignee: Doug Barton <dougb>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me

Description George Hartzell 2003-03-07 20:30:06 UTC 
The freebsd-tips fortune file contains this tip:

 You can use /etc/make.conf to control the options used to compile software
 on this system.  Example entries are in /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf.

but /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf doesn't appear to exist.

Fix: 

Remove the erroneous tip, or change it to refer to:
  /usr/share/examples/etc/defaults/make.conf
though that's not really a useful example given that it's the kitchen sink
and that theres the identical copy in /etc/defaults/make.conf.
How-To-Repeat: 
Search for make.conf in /usr/src/games/fortune/datfiles/freebsd-tips

nosferatu:/usr/share/examples/etc% ident make.conf 
make.conf:

It's on a 5-CURRENT box, maybe someone from re@ could MFC the file if
this later does not exist on 4.X branch.

Under 4.X this file lives in /etc/defaults/make.conf.  The tip
should point to different files on the different branches.

The path needs to be changed in RELENG_4 to /etc/defaults.

Fixed in RELENG_4. The path in HEAD is correct.
