Bug 99209

Summary: non working reference in FAQ about Change Xfree -> Xorg
Product: Documentation Reporter: cwf-ml
Component: Books & ArticlesAssignee: Remko Lodder <remko>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: Latest   
Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description cwf-ml 2006-06-20 17:10:18 UTC 
the FAQ says:

---  (in Q 11.2) ------
Note: The above describes the default X implementation installed. It is still possible to install either implementation by following the instructions in the entry for 20040723 in /usr/ports/UPDATING.
-----------------------

Problems:

- there is no such entry in UPDATING. There probably never was. 
  certainly not in any of today's version, nor in any HEAD version 
  of that time, (if you can trust CVS on that)

- given the multitude of parallel versions of this file and the 
  high frequency and opaque and seemingly arbitrary way entries 
  come and go on these lists, a reference to this document from 
  the FAQ is not useful.

The entry is there: 

20040723: 
AFFECTS: users of FreeBSD-current, users of X.Org 
AUTHOR: anholt@FreeBSD.org 

This lists the information on how to proceed. 

But perhaps you mean a reference like: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/x-install.html ? 

Which also lists that information (section 5.3.1)

After my reply on 3/7 and Giorgos reply i think we explained what 
went wrong here.  Since no feedback was given after the emails 
were sent i believe this PR to be solved. 

If there is any feedback, please submit it, we can reopen the 
ticket if needed. 

Thanks however for taking the time to report this.  We (FreeBSD) 
really appriciate that!
