I didn't see them in the update, but I did notice that some files were being dumped into this directory (IIRC): /usr/src/share/doc Now, my docs tree has a distinct file in /etc: cvsupfile-doc So what, I asked myself, are the files in share/doc? Upon looking, I find various files, including Makefiles...for instance (and relevant to a separate issue I am trying to solve): ll share/doc/papers/devfs/ 1090302 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 181 Feb 15 15:12 Makefile 1088608 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 50718 Feb 18 2002 paper.me This paper exists in /usr/share/doc/papers in a .gz state. Is that the only place it is supposed to be? The Makefile doesn't give me a clue about where else it might be installed. Is there yet another step (automated, and a part of the make update process), not evident to me, that might render it (and other files in the /usr/src subdirs) human readable, and up to date? It appears to me that the make update process I run should be doing everything WRT these files. -- I don't care what you think. This is not a stylishly insouciant stroll out of the jungle, here. It's more like we've fallen out of our trees and rolled, butt-naked before the entire galaxy, downhill. That, and we seem to have a teensy problem lifting ourselves off the ground.
