Good day,

On
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html
, in a note under =E2=80=984.5.3.1. Upgrading Ports Using Portmaster=E2=80=
=99, I found a
link to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dportmaster&sektion=3D8 ,=
 at
which no manpage could be found. I believe this is because the default
manpath includes only the base FreeBSD system and not ports, as
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dportmaster&sektion=3D8&manpath=
=3DFreeBSD+Ports+10.2-RELEASE
and
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dportmaster&sektion=3D8&manpath=
=3DFreeBSD+10.2-RELEASE+and+Ports
do display it. Is it difficult to adjust this without unnoticedly making th=
e
link point to an old version of the page once a new release comes out?

Thanks,
Fedde Schaeffer, a long-time laptop Linux (Debianoid) user who was forced
to try out Mac OS X at work and is now curious to try if proper FreeBSD
might suit him
