The build of the documentation is not, shall we say, self contained in the base system of FreeBSD. It requires many tools that are not part of the base system. This means buildworld cannot assume that you have all of them, so it doesn't try to build the documentation too. Look at `/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk'.

Basically, yes. Not all the time, but that's the idea. Everything is customizable though, to allow local fixes that make more sense. This is why I set MASTER_SITE_GNU as shown above in my machines -- it makes more sense for machines installed in Greece. The ftp.ntua.gr mirror is usually very up to date and it's one of the fastest Greek FTP servers around. Putting it on the top of the MASTER_SITE_GNU list means that whenever I try to build some GNU tool, ftp.ntua.gr is the first server contacted. If that fails to locate the distfile, the usual list of servers takes over. why does cvsup not work the same way ? Because it wasn't written to do so. There is a utility in ports, sysutils/fastest_cvsup, that may help you find the fastest CVSup server at any given time :-) - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is not really what you want, unless you plan to help with writing the docs :) You can install /usr/share/doc files again, by unpacking the doc* packages from the installation media. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
