Bug ID: 235223
Summary: Removal of RCS from base system
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Keywords: pkgbase
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: Website
Assignee: [email protected]

Removal of a components from the base system is ok, *PROVIDED* that you note it
in the release notes - in the case of GROFF and RCS for the 12.x release it
isn't, and may come as a really nasty surprise on system builds which actually
have a requirement for those somewhat archaic tools (yes some stuff in the wild
may still use them).
DO NOT SURPRISE THE USERS! ... that is a *BAD THING* (Tm).
Can you please updated the 12.x release notes to indicate that the following
have been removed from the base system, and replaced by a port.
RCS - Add via ports/devel/rcs
GROFF - Add via ports/textproc/groff
(you will need to double check the above ports)
There is probably other things, but these are the ones that I "found" when
regression testing the 12.x release on a rebuilt server image and with tools
that actually use those toolchains (naturally, a lot of stuff broke pretty
spectacularly and it was a case of WTF before trawling through the forums and
changes to work out what the heck has happened).
