https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235223 Bug ID: 235223 Summary: Removal of RCS from base system Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Keywords: pkgbase Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Website Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: bmeyer@mesoft.com.au Removal of a components from the base system is ok, *PROVIDED* that you note it in the release notes - in the case of GROFF and RCS for the 12.x release it isn't, and may come as a really nasty surprise on system builds which actually have a requirement for those somewhat archaic tools (yes some stuff in the wild may still use them). DO NOT SURPRISE THE USERS! ... that is a *BAD THING* (Tm). Can you please updated the 12.x release notes to indicate that the following have been removed from the base system, and replaced by a port. RCS - Add via ports/devel/rcs GROFF - Add via ports/textproc/groff (you will need to double check the above ports) There is probably other things, but these are the ones that I "found" when regression testing the 12.x release on a rebuilt server image and with tools that actually use those toolchains (naturally, a lot of stuff broke pretty spectacularly and it was a case of WTF before trawling through the forums and changes to work out what the heck has happened). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
