Right. At this stage, we can do that (keep XML files and Makefile in
doc repository and build them on freefall). But I think that method
is not "Right thing". In the future, CVS repository should include
*only* source file and machine generated file should be built by
${MAKE} on the fly.
On the other hand, same informations are stored in many places. Ftp
mirror sites are in www, handbook, sysinstall. Ports categories are
in www, porters-handbook, sysinstall, bsd.port.mk.
I think these data should be handled by more smart way and (IMHO) XML
has possibility to achive it. That's why I said we need light XML/XSL
tools in base system...
