Hi, I maintain at least one port that installs a man page that doesn't show up in https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi. Also, there seem to be cases where man pages of ports are outdated (e.g., https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=248927 was opened today, the man page of the port in question was fixed on May 3rd 2020). Is there any documentation explaining how port man pages are generated for man.cgi and how frequently they're updated? Like, are they taken from binary packages every few months or are they maybe created from the ports tree that's current at the time of a release (so "FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE and Ports" contains man pages based on https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/12.1-RELEASE/ports.txz)? Cheers, Michael -- Michael Gmelin
