--==_Exmh_-1708212057P Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I'm not sure who should get this mail, but here goes: Awhile back, dd@ set up some infrastructure in the Web site so that a Web version of the release documentation for -CURRENT and 4-STABLE could be rebuilt automatically, at the same time as the rest of the Web site. Information on enabling this is stored in www/en/relnotes/README. For some reason, the Web server hasn't updated these documents since sometime in June. I suspect that either the release documentation source files aren't being updated, or the BUILD_RELNOTES Makefile variable isn't being set when the Web site gets regenerated. Is there any chance of a Web admin type person looking into this? I'd really like to see this working again. If not, I'm going to push for nuking this "feature" of the Web site (with apologies to dd@, who did a good job of implementing this stuff IMHO)...the existing files are so out-of-date as to be essentially useless. Thanks, Bruce. PS. Apologies if I come off as a little agitated in the above mail. It took a long time to get the release documentation builds turned on, and even then, they would mysteriously stop updating every few months. If anybody knows why, they've never told me. --==_Exmh_-1708212057P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.5+ 20020506 iD8DBQE9ieaT2MoxcVugUsMRAtZ0AKDLbRpSmsiekDtCTAAmqY7mT3Fq2QCgwAlz wLGiWHb8uDzTyhZjkAviO94= =LnnM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-1708212057P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
