--bg08WKrSYDhXBjb5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hello, I'm wondering how we should link to the relnotes. In reading the FAQ, I find several places where, IMHO, we should be doing this. This is something of a followup on pr doc/30202. When I opened it we had a bit of discussion over it, and it quietly died awaiting 4.4-R. I'm suggesting that we create a docbook entity, &rel.current.notes; , that points to the current Release Notes. This would save us the trouble of updating this link every time a new release comes out, and also answer dd's objections IIRC. I've attached a patch to implement this, and to follow up doc/30202. We could also use this functionality to fix several broken links in the FAQ that have a similar problem to this PR. Any comments? ==ml -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@blackhelicopters.org http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ Big Scary Daemons: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons --bg08WKrSYDhXBjb5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="freebsd.ent" *** freebsd.ent-dist Wed Oct 31 11:26:51 2001 --- freebsd.ent Wed Oct 31 11:28:58 2001 *************** *** 16,21 **** --- 16,22 ---- it's really release time --> <!ENTITY rel.current CDATA "4.4"> <!ENTITY rel.current.date CDATA "September, 2001"> + <!ENTITY rel.current.notes "http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.4R/notes.html">; <!-- Sections that we don't want to be published --> <!ENTITY % not.published "IGNORE"> --bg08WKrSYDhXBjb5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="scsi-supported.diff" *** book.sgml-dist Wed Oct 31 11:30:49 2001 --- book.sgml Wed Oct 31 11:32:32 2001 *************** *** 2354,2360 **** <answer> <para>See the complete list in the <ulink !
