This patch adds a section to the FreeBSD Handbook, Chapter 24. "Updating and Upgrading FreeBSD". It describes some methods for updating, like using CVSup and rebuilding the documentation from source, and using Docsnap. Of course, other methods can be added later on, you can think of it as a stub for such methods. Please, feel free to review it and comment. Thank Giorgos, Manolis, Rene, and Tom for the early reviews and comments, and thanks for further replies in advance. Cheers, :g [1] http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-doc/2008-December/015099.html [2] http://people.freebsd.org/~pgj/patches/2008/12/27/updating-upgrading-documentation.patch.diff
