            Bug ID: 222692
           Summary: Source install shows using svn, not svnlite
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: bsd@haps.ca

The handbook on updating/instaling from source shows all commands using 'sv=
n',
not 'svnlite'.  This is confusing to new users who have no svn.  In fact, n=
one
of the pages in chapter 23 show svnlite.  I think it makes most sense to
replace occurrences of the svn command with svnlite, since it's universally
available.
The page in question is:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
However, the following page:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.h=
tml
also mentions that: ``Typically, svn is used to check out the -CURRENT
code...''
It should probably also be updated to svnlite.  While it does link to the
subversion appendix, there is no need for full svn for checkout.

Thanks!
