https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D267636 Bug ID: 267636 Summary: The colon in the file name of the security report of the FreeBSD doc is not compatible with Microsoft Windows Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Website Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: yklaxds@gmail.com As Hnadbook, The name of the security advisory always begins with FreeBSD-S= A- (for FreeBSD Security Advisory), for FreeBSD-SA-14:04.bind, followed by the year in two digit format (14:), followed by the advisory number for that ye= ar (04.), followed by the name of the affected application or subsystem (bind). The advisory shown here is the fourth advisory for 2014 and it affects BIND. https://github.com/Chinese-FreeBSD-Community/freebsd-doc/tree/main/website/= static/security/patches The colon in the above path folder and file names is an illegal file name in Microsoft windows. Microsoft Windows does not allow the colon to appear as = part of a folder or file name. Therefore svn or git operations will fail. Only UNIX-like or MacOS operating systems allow this. This severely hinders users from editing FreeBSD documents on the Microsoft Windows platform. To be abl= e to edit this documentation you must first have a class UNIX, and it is well kn= own that the editing experience on these platforms is just not very good, some = of them cannot even be configured for input methods. And the colon doesn't seem necessary, it's not that intuitive, and if I did= n't read the Handbook I'd have thought it was the time of publication (hours or minutes). It's perfectly possible to consider using another character inste= ad such as an underscore. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
