It's not really an error or a broken link. The existing use of the <ulink> elements show that two ways of linking to ports/ stuff are used. The first one uses absolute URLs [ like http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/mail.html ]. The other one uses relative references: $ cd /a/freebsd/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook $ find . -type f | xargs grep -i 'url=.*\.\./ports' ./l10n/chapter.sgml: url="../../../../ports/index.html">FreeBSD Ports collection</ulink> has provided ./mail/chapter.sgml: url="../../../../ports/mail.html">ports collection</ulink> and install ./ports/chapter.sgml: <ulink url="../../../../ports/index.html">http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/</ulink>. ./ports/chapter.sgml: url="../../../../ports/index.html">ports listing on the FreeBSD The first way (using absolute URLs) will make mirrors of the web site redirect parts of their traffic back to freebsd.org, and it's something I'd like to avoid if possible. The second way is problematic for sites that don't have a ports/ directory set up at the same level as the FreeBSD doc/ hierarchy. I'm not sure which of the two evils I prefer :-/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE92F8O1g+UGjGGA7YRAlp+AJ41TAxgyNdWATYlbboytDo6gFkU8QCdGWYE d9blekkWDP4AWQNCxci774Q= =KjZl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
