>Number: 132587 >Category: docs >Synopsis: Ton of broken links to man pages in the hand book. Easy fix. >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: high >Responsible: freebsd-doc >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: doc-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Thu Mar 12 21:00:09 UTC 2009 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Patrick McCary >Release: 7.1-RELEASE >Organization: self >Environment: 7.1-RELEASE i386 i386 >Description: I noticed this following the portupgrade(1) link from http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html. The portupgrade(1) link is (doesn't work): http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=portupgrade&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE+and+Ports It should be: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=portupgrade&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html The difference is on the end of the links: - broke = &sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE+and+Ports - works = &apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html If you pull up the single page version of the hand book http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html and view source, you can search on "&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE+and+Ports" and there are a ton of matches. I only spot checked a few but making the change referenced above took me to the correct man page every time. >How-To-Repeat: Goto http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html and follow the portupgrade(1) link to the man page. Then follow this link: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=portupgrade&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html. >Fix: In the hand book html files, search for: &sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE+and+Ports And replace with: &apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
