obsolete /usr/share/doc/handbook ?
I update my local FBSD documentation with cvsup doc-all. I note that the latest FBSD documentation is under /usr/doc. However I still have /usr/share/doc which is about 2 years out of date. On the other hand /usr/doc does not appear in hier(7), whereas /usr/share/doc does. Can I safely delete the obsolete docs under /usr/share/doc? Why are there two doc folders? many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If you want to build them yourself, the directions are in the FreeBSD Documentation Project primer (which is in the books section of the documentation; I'd recommend you read it on the web -- for example, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/ -- until you have a more recent local copy). If you aren't planning on building the documents yourself, just download them from the ftp sites.

/usr/share/dict/words
I'm building a couple of new machines this weekend. Normally I do install minimum possible, then cvsup and do a make buildworld / make installworld sequence. This time as I was building various ports, I was told that /usr/share/dict/words needed to be installed. This has always been installed by the make installworld before. Has something changed about this?

/usr/share/doc's failing to build
Hi, I had a script that used to run on cron which would automatically cvsup all the documentation required for the FreeBSD Website and then build it so I could keep a local mirrored copy. A while ago it started failing with the following message and I'm not sure where to start to correct the problem, short of actually deleting everything and starting again. I have read through the necessary documentation regarding this but can't see anything that has changed.

customized /usr/share/skel
I'd like to customize /usr/share/skel. It's an easy matter to edit /usr/src/share/skel/Makefile and to make my own dot files. However, will my customizations get overwritten when I make my next world? If so, what's the best way to go about preventing my files from being overwritten? e.g. should I place my custom Makefile and dot files in a different directory and rerun my Makefile after a successful install world?

Now I see that I misread the original post. Well, man(1) in FreeBSD is a slightly modified version of GNU man. The basic idea of locating a manpage and convnerting it to a preformatted ``cat page'' remains the same. The details of the conversion can always be found in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/man/man/man.c (look at the definition of the glob_for_filename() and try_section() functions in this file). It's pretty much the same as the post you quoted above.

(I am cleaning up /usr, so i want to throw out the rotten things.) Manpages are an integral part of the program source for many of the base system utilities.
