https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=290832 Bug ID: 290832 Summary: style.mdoc.5: Document /usr/src/foo vs src/foo preference (also for /usr/ports/foo vs ports/foo) Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Keywords: needs-patch Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: 0mp@FreeBSD.org CC: doc@FreeBSD.org I've noticed there is a preference to refer to files in /usr/src and /usr/ports using relative paths instead of absolute ones. My understanding is that this is because we do not want to signal that those repositories need to be checked out to a specific place in the file system in order to work. We should document that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
