I guess few people know about the doc packages and/or most of people read the docs online only...

In the ports collection, periodical build check is performed on pointyhat and they have better visibility for people, I think. -- | Hiroki SATO [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDBMEFTyzT2CeTzy0RAgTtAKDA5uyL7lwmdKDqiITl5DID0j7LswCdFsSR 4tZOS1zfaMlwdhmQqGwv5SM= =ZWad -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
