Similarly, thou shalt always update www/en/news/webchanges.sgml as well. Let me say at this point that I don't particularly like having to do this. We have the information in the CVS logs already, and we should be able to pull it out easily enough. There was an announcement on Freshmeat (http://www.freshmeat.net/) a few weeks back about a small app that would take a tree of CVS files and build a GNU style ChangeLog file from the CVS log messages. A search for "CVS ChangeLog" on Freshmeat should find it. If someone were to investigate this, and possibly bolt on a new option so that it would output HTML instead then we could make the generation of webchanges.sgml completely automatic. N -- [intentional self-reference] can be easily accommodated using a blessed, non-self-referential dummy head-node whose own object destructor severs the links. -- Tom Christiansen in <375143b5@cs.colorado.edu> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
