[From: Neil Blakey-Milner <nbm@mithrandr.moria.org> To: Jonathon McKitrick <jcm@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org> Cc: Mark Ovens <mark@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org>; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Date: Friday, December 17, 1999 5:14 AM |What's the problem? | |Stuff in /usr/src is obviously source to the actual installed stuff, and |thus shouldn't concern you in the least if you're looking for |documentation. | |Stuff in /usr/doc is sort of a hybrid between the ports collection |and src, and it contains the source to FDP documentation. Not of |much direct use in finding documentation. | |/usr/share/doc is the install location for FDP documentation, and |a few other bits from src/. | |/usr/local/share/doc is the place where ports put documentation. | |It's all pretty straightforward, really (: For you and others who are familiar with the "system" maybe, but it's certainly not what I'd call *intuitively* straightforward. Do you think a FAQ, giving a brief overview as to how all these "doc" directories inter-play, would be in order? Might even help the bandwidth on this list ;). I suggest this because 1) there appears to be a need, and 2) you seem to be fluent in all aspects and nuances of the "docs" maze. later....duke To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
