After the necessary changes get made to freefall and a short settling period, I am going to cvs rm the *.TXT files in -CURRENT and make RELNOTESng the default for -CURRENT release builds. Couple of food-for-thought items: 1. We might want to put some suitable HTML text in www/en/relnotes to point browsers at the different documents available. For the moment, we can navigate the directory tree, which shouldn't be fatal. :-) 2. Note that INSTALL.TXT (aka INSTALL.PDF, INSTALL.HTM) on the release disks is really generated out of a directory called "installation" (having a document subdirectory called "install" causes the build to fall over). There's a hack in src/release/Makefile to do this transformation. I am not recommending that we do this for the Web site RELNOTESng, but I thought I'd point this out. This looks great to me...somebody please get this in place so I can nuke old RELNOTES! :-) Bruce. --==_Exmh_-77323666P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.5 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.2 06/23/2000 iD8DBQE7AAq+2MoxcVugUsMRAl/zAKC1mR/yrGfwjKQvSAOBBrC84rf5EQCfR8fr JCocgKHKdtPLeBMYcj9Hgx0= =f+HG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-77323666P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
