            Bug ID: 221070
           Summary: Handbook points users to use https with subversion,
                    but https does not work
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: russ.haley@gmail.com

The handbook points users to use the HTTPS protocol for retrieving the Free=
BSD
source code with subversion. The two instances I found were:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/svn.html

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html

Currently using http:// fails with various messages depending on the day it
seems. Sometimes it complains about depth, sometimes that the hostname is n=
ot
available.=20

Using svn:// instead of https:// corrects the issue somewhat, but the svn
protocol is not a robust in my experience.

I have assumed this to be a documentation issue as I have heard nothing abo=
ut
an official change away from https and my query on the ARM mailing list did=
 not
elicit any responses indicating such a change. However, someone did respond=
 and
tell me they also had to switch away from https a few weeks ago.
