>Description:
This PR contains a variety of problems that are related
to the hier(7) manual page. Once these problems are fixed,
it might be nice to spruce up the page's format a bit...
There are no listings for /usr/include/dev/{ppbus,ntfs,nwfs}.
"msdosfs/ Chatacter set conversion tables"
---
"msdosfs/ Character set conversion tables"
There are no listings for /usr/libdata/{doscmd,doscmd/fonts,
ldscripts} and no information in the /usr/libdata/gcc entry.
"stallion/ holding the download firmware images"
---
"stallion/ download images for Stallion firmware; see stlload(8)"
There is no real information in the libdata/tcl entry.
There are no listings for /usr/libexec/{lpr/ru,sendmail}.
The entry for /usr/local is a bit garbled and incomplete. How about:
local/ local executables, libraries, etc.
Also used as the default destination for the FreeBSD
ports framework. local/ should use the general layout
sketched out by hier(7) for /usr. Exceptions are the
man directory (directly under local/, rather than under
local/share/), ports documentation (in share/doc/<port>/),
and /usr/local/etc (mimics /etc).
In /usr, the "ports" entry should be "ports/" (it's a directory).
/usr/share/fonts has questions marks for its description; the
actual directory is empty. Wazzup?
/usr/share/locale is described as being for "internationalization
files"; isn't it actually used for "localization files"?
/usr/share/misc/termcap is described, but does not seem to exist.
There is no listing for /usr/tmp.
The listings in /usr/share/dict are not sorted alphabetically.
Also, neither /usr/share/dict/{papers,special} seem to exist.
The entry for /usr/share/doc has several problems. It lists "FAQ",
rather than "faq" and totally fails to list a number of entries.
"syscons/ console staff; see syscons(4)"
---
"syscons/ console stuff; see syscons(4)"
"src/ BSD and/or local source files"
---
"src/ BSD, third-party, and/or local source files"
Also, the /usr/src/{crypto,secure} entries should be "crypto/"
and "secure/" (they are directories).
There is no entry for /usr/src/CVS.
The entry for /usr/src/contrib should read
"src for file from contributed software"
---
"src for files from contributed software"
"tools used for maintaince and testing of FreeBSD"
---
"tools used for maintenance and testing of FreeBSD"
"architecture independant files"
---
"architecture-independent files"
The entry for /var/crash should read
"default drectory to store kernel crash dumps; ..."
---
"default directory to store kernel crash dumps; ..."
There is no text in the description line for /var/cron.
The entry for /var/cron/log is in error;
this file is now in /var/log.
There are entries for /var/quotas and /var/spool/secretmail,
but no such directories exist.
