In the FreeBSD Documentation Project Primer for New Contributors, it says: --------------------------------------------- 1.3 Quick Start # 1. Install the textproc/docproj meta-port. # cd /usr/ports/textproc/docproj # make JADETEX=no install ---------------------------------------------- Did that (I think) successfully. ----------------------------------------------- 2. Get a local copy of the FreeBSD doc tree. Either use CVSup in checkout mode to do this, or get a full copy of the CVS repository locally. If you have the CVS repository locally then as a minimum you will need to checkout the doc/share, and doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/share directories. % cvs checkout doc/share % cvs checkout doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/share If you have plenty of disk space then you could check out everything. % cvs checkout doc # 3. If you are preparing a change to an existing book or article, check it out of the repository as necessary. If you are planning on contributing a new book or article then use an existing one as a guide. * * * # If you wanted to edit an existing document, such as the FAQ, which is in doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq you would check it out of the repository like this. % cvs checkout doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq ------------------------------------------------ Okay. After some unsuccessful thrashing around I conclude I have to set the environment variable $CVSROOT. What is not clear to me is what exactly to set it to. Also not clear is whether step 2 is necessary before step 3 can proceed succsessfully. Can you help? thanks in advance -LenZ-
