I had implemented a FreeBSD documentation generator largely in
Perl, intended to replace the current one. It required/awaited
this transition.
Huge thanks to all responsible for this transition!
Thanks, Baptiste, for the great news!

FYI the troff only docs concern:

Anyone has a concern about that?



Not from me, I actually have never read the documentation.

How about doc-history, or something where we can archive documentation that has
high historic value?


There is the doc archive: https://docs.freebsd.org/doc/

It's about time the FreeBSD project starts to think about history
preservation in general, but I'm not sure how one goes about doing
that in an Open Source Project.

Do we have any volunteers at Computer History Museum in our ranks ?

[RFC] Moving troff only documentation to the doc repository

2014-11-23 Thread Baptiste Daroussin
Hi all,

I would like to move the troff documentation which is not very useful anymore on
a recent FreeBSD system but still part of history into the doc repository, a
dedicated branch will probably fit (anyone has an idea for the name of the
branch?)

FYI the troff only docs concern:
share/docs/{papers,psd,smm,usd}

Anyone has a concern about that?

Regards,
Bapt
