Good day,
On
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html
, in a note under ‘4.5.3.1. Upgrading Ports Using Portmaster’, I found a
link to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=portmaster&sektion=8 , at
which no manpage could be found. I believe this is because the default
manpath includes only the base FreeBSD system and not ports, as
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=portmaster&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+Ports+10.2-RELEASE
and
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=portmaster&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+10.2-RELEASE+and+Ports
do display it.
Yes, this has been a problem for a while. I have just committed a
change that will give a default manpath that includes ports. The HTML
document has been rebuilt, so please refresh and test that link again.
Is it difficult to adjust this without unnoticedly making the link
point to an old version of the page once a new release comes out?
The documents are rebuilt frequently, so this should not be a problem.
Old archived versions of the documents will have links to older
releases, but that is pretty much expected for old documents.
Thanks,

might suit him
Welcome, and thank you!
