Hi folks, I'd love to send the following to -stable and -current as well, because the people there should know about it, particularly the release building problems. However, the mailing list software is rejecting them, even if I send them by hand. So, for the time being, this is just going to -doc and -committers. N ----- Forwarded message from Nik Clayton <nik@freebsd.org> ----- Date: Sat, 21 Aug 1999 19:20:51 +0100 From: Nik Clayton <nik@freebsd.org> To: doc@freebsd.org, committers@freebsd.org, current@freebsd.org, stable@freebsd.org Subject: doc/ freeze lifted, "make release" probably broken Organization: FreeBSD Project <URL:http://www.freebsd.org/>; Folks [ Sent to -doc, -committers, -stable, -current. To avoid spamming the lists with replies, "Reply-To:" points back to me ] I'm very pleased to announce the lifting of the freeze on the doc/ tree. The FreeBSD Documentation Project has now almost completed the transition from LinuxDoc to DocBook (3 small documents remain). This wouldn't have been possible without the contributions and hard work from many people, including, but not limited to; * John Polstra * Jun Kuriyama, and the other members of the Japanese translation team * Jesus Rodriguez, of the Spanish translation effort * Foxfair Hu, of the Chinese translation group * Andrey Chernov, of the Russian translaters and the many other members of the FDP who contributed comments and suggestions on the -doc mailing list. My thanks to all of you. In addition, I will very shortly be restarting the automatic re-generation of the FreeBSD website. The most visible change will be to the FAQ and tutorial sections. As you look over these documents, please remember that this is still early days, and that the formatting of these documents is open to review, and your suggestions and comments are appreciated. There is one item to note: it is highly likely that trying to build a release without defining the "NODOC" variable will fail. My preferred approach to fixing this is to move the documentation building completely outside of the release structure. The formatted documentation will shortly be available as packages. However, if this doesn't prove feasible then effort will be expended in fixing src/release/Makefile to cope with the new structure.
