Description Iwasa Kazmi 2006-07-02 11:30:16 UTC 
On FreeBSD's ftp sites, /pub/FreeBSD/doc/ja is a directory
and seems to contain old documents.

I think "ja" should be an alias of the "ja_JP.eucJP".
"ja_JP.eucJP" seems to have newer documents.

former one is older than later one, indeed.

  % ncftpls -l ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/ | grep ja
  drwxrwxr-x    4 110      0             512 Apr 17  2003 ja
  drwxrwxr-x    4 110      0             512 Apr 19  2004 ja_JP.eucJP

but I'm not sure how to change ja/ directory to alias per reading
{doc,www}/share/mk/* ...

simon@ kindly notes those stale documents need to be removed
manualy from the FTP master site.

So, I would like to ask someone who can touch FTP master site to handle
this matter.

Best regards,
