(r225937) So for most of its time on the website, this article's instructions haven't worked. Until it is rewritten to use modern tools, should a notice be placed on the page to indicate the instructions only work on the (unsupported) FreeBSD 9? I know the author mm@ is still active and there has been work underway on mfsBSD related to https://freebsdfoundation.org/mfsbsd-in-base/ and the following reviews (all open at time of typing): - https://reviews.freebsd.org/D41704 - https://reviews.freebsd.org/D41705 - https://reviews.freebsd.org/D41706=20 If mfsBSD is imported into base, some of the instructions in the article wo= uld change too (e.g. "Download and extract the latest mfsBSD release" would be unnecessary). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
