* Andrew J Caines <A.J.Caines@halplant.com> (20020106 16:59): > Where would the typical new user first find out about portupgrade? In news postings or in mailing-lists ; not in docs or general articles about FreeBSD. And not in the first week after having started with the system. All the docs tell about using the Makefiles in /usr/ports, but it would be easier to start with pkg_add -r (and recompile a new version later if needed). > Would additional documentation be useful and if so, then where: > sysinstall, *.TXT, /usr/share/doc, handbook or elsewhere? Handbook I think. You're right, portupgrade does not really belong in base as it is a ports-tool. olive -- Olivier Tharan <olivier.tharan@idealx.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
