This allows you to maintain all the FreeBSD documentation with a minimum of effort. Docsnap is an rsync repository for easy updating of installed FreeBSD documentation (/usr/share/doc). The first run may take longer but subsequent updates take very little time. Only the differences in the documents are transferred. That is the main advantage but you also do not need to install ports with hefty overhead to build documents. Rsync is only utility required (/usr/ports/net/rsync). Typical usage: # rsync -rltvz docsnap.sk.FreeBSD.org::docsnap /usr/share/doc/ For more information see http://docsnap.sk.freebsd.org/ and possibly the rsync manual page. HTH, Randy --
