That would be my cue. The docs are build on builder.freebsd.org under my user account and then mirrored to ftp-master. The build dir on builder is /local0/docbuild so that's where that comes from. I will have a look at why the packages include this path. Anyway, I personally don't really see the point in the doc packages, so I got the ftp logs from ftp.freebsd.org some time ago to see if they were actually being downloaded, but I got sidetracked by.. well everything else :-). -- Simon L. Nielsen FreeBSD Documentation Team Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->simon I will have a look at this one. On Mon, Aug 30, 2004 at 09:04:58PM +0200, Simon L. Nielsen wrote:

Well, I didn't even know they existed until today, so I installed them
out of curiosity only. Don't spend too much time on it.

State Changed From-To: open->closed Since doc packages are apparently not widely used (they have been broken for quite a while and nobody has mentioned it except in this PR) and nobody objected to my mail to -doc@ about simply removing them that is the plan, so close this PR. |
The prebuilt doc packages on ftp.FreeBSD.org install under /local0; they really should go into /usr/share/doc. Fix: Unsure - I don't know where these packages are generated.
