-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, Because FreeBSD 6.X will be officially unsupported after this month, I made a patch [1] to streamline the Handbook so that it only supports FreeBSD 7.X and up (assuming I did not miss anything). Some more notes: - - old versions in historical context are left in tact. - - the section about KerberosIV has been removed, since it is applicable to FreeBSD < 6 only - - the instructions to install SAP R/3 have been commented out for now, since they were last tested on FreeBSD 4.3 and 4.5. Maybe these and the other instructions about installing Linux applications should be converted to articles? - - XFree86 has been removed from the text (except when in historical context), only X.Org is supported these days. - - Some port paths have been updated (e.g. mail/pine -> mail/alpine) - - definitions for ctm-src-[5-8] have been added to mailing-lists.ent to fully support updating FreeBSD version numbers in examples. I put some comments for others to look at (screenshots for alpine and updated instructions for MAC come to mind). And no, I will not commit this before having received some feedback.
