The following reply was made to PR advocacy/188031; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Andrew Moseman <Andrew.Moseman@pomeroy.com> To: Kim Lesmer <knl@bitflop.com>, "freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org" <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org> Cc: Subject: RE: advocacy/188031: Contradictions between the FAQ and the Handbook Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2014 13:32:55 +0000 Good catch Kim, Another suggestion would be to link the FAQ to the hand book or vice versa = and manage only one definition. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-advocacy@fre= ebsd.org] On Behalf Of Kim Lesmer Sent: Friday, March 28, 2014 9:11 AM To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: advocacy/188031: Contradictions between the FAQ and the Handbook >Number: 188031 >Category: advocacy >Synopsis: Contradictions between the FAQ and the Handbook >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-advocacy >State: open >Quarter: =20 >Keywords: =20 >Date-Required: >Class: doc-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Fri Mar 28 13:20:00 UTC 2014 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Kim Lesmer >Release: 10 >Organization: >Environment: >Description: On the FAQ here: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/faq/introduction.html It says, when explaining the different releases: "Briefly, -STABLE is aimed at the ISP, corporate user, or any user who want= s stability and a minimal number of changes compared to the new (and possib= ly unstable) features of the latest -CURRENT snapshot." This is highly contradictory to the information provided several places in = the Hanbook. For example: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/current-stable.html "This is still a development branch and, at any given time, the sources for= FreeBSD-STABLE may or may not be suitable for general use. It is simply an= other engineering development track, not a resource for end-users." >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: I think having a FAQ section outside of the Handbook is a problem. It would= be better, easier to keep track of things, if the FAQ is moved to the Hand= book and then the above information corrected. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/= listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-advocacy-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
