The problem is that it's not a simple thing to do. Our build installs = with the option to not install if files are identical, so timestamps = can't be used alone. E.g. = http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/TRADEMARKS.html : -r--r--r-- 1 www wwwadm 4494 Jan 9 2010 TRADEMARKS.html I have removed the mentioned files but I don't have time to do a full = sweep as I might end up deleting too much. > Furthermore, if someone with the appropriate access can provide a list > of similarly-named files (which also likely can be fixed with adding a > section id to the source), I will personally fix the section id so = these > files do not occur again.

There is no need for special access to do that. Just build all the docs = in html-split and find xNNNN.html files.

I just looked at porters-handboot and it seems there is at least one = left: -r--r--r-- 1 www wwwadm 2917 Jul 26 13:31 x5834.html <h1 class=3D"SECT1"><a id=3D"AEN5834" name=3D"AEN5834">6.26 Ports That = Rely on Kernel Sources</a></h1> --=20 Simon L.
