doesn't make the ".." in typewritten format. And the ascii version
of the file shows '<tt>..</tt>' literally. After looking into linuxdoc dtd,
we found there is no way to make ".." in typewritten font.
Noticed by: Mitsuru IWASAKI <iwasaki@pc.jaring.my>
Added reference to "MAINTAINER on Makefiles" section.
Added reference to pkg_create(1) man page in the explanation of the packing
list.
Added description of ${INSTALL_*} macros.
Added an explanation to use patch files distributed in .tar.gz format.
Added statement about the copyright on the submitted files.
Slgith change in sample Makefile.
Written mostly by: asami
substitute.
(2) Bring the *_DEPENDS section up to the current state. Explain that
the pathname in the "path:dir" pair can be a full pathname if you
want a port to depend on something that isn't executable or an
executable that's not expected to be in the user's search path
(like /usr/local/libexec). Also, change the LIB_DEPENDS example
to use jpeg, tcl-7.3's appropriateness as an example is quite
outdated at this point. ;)
(1) Additional __FreeBSD_version's from <osreldate.h>. Closes PR
docs/1438.
Submitted by: "David E. O'Brien" <obrien@Nuxi.cs.ucdavis.edu>
(2) Make it clear that when submitting a port, the package is not
necassary.
Suggested by: joerg
(3) Recommend people to use send-pr to send us notifications of new
ports and upgrades so that they won't fall between the cracks.
Suggested by: a lot of people
(4) Add a section about Motif and describe REQUIRES_MOTIF and
MOTIFLIB.
Prodded by: chuckr
(5) Revise the licensing problems section and describe the two
variables RESTRICTED and NO_CDROM.
(6) Fill in the section about upgrading. In particular, recommend to
send in diffs of the old and new ports (these are "ports", not the
original source or anything!), so it's easier to see what has
changed.
I was in the middle of one of these "projects" when I started
on the next, so they wound up all intermixed)
Move the mailing list entities from authors.sgml to the new file
lists.sgml. Add an entity for majordomo at the same time.
Avoid the use of contractions. This revealed some grammer problems,
and also has the benefit of helping make things clearer for those people
who do make speak English as a their first language.
we are consistent in how they are referenced in the handbook, and
so that they are now all clickable URLs. E.g. no more mis-matched
freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org and hackers@freebsd.org. They are used
just like the individual mail addresses defined in authors.sgml.
E.g. &a.doc will expand to:
FreeBSD documentation project mailing list <freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG>
Be consistent in using the FreeBSD.ORG address. All references
to freebsd.org were changed to FreeBSD.ORG.
Use pre-defined addresses for some individuals where available.
* Kernel configuration, from Jake Hamby <jehamby@lightside.com>
I'd like as many people as possible to give this one a good
check before 2.1 goes out the door.
* Routing, from Coranth Gryphon <gryphon@healer.com>
A bazillion formatting tweaks (only 13 bazillion more to go!)
All cross reference labels start with name of the file that contains
them. A label for the top section level is simply the name of the
file (omitting the .sgml). Other references within the file append a
colon and onother name. For example, the label on the mailing list
section in the file eresources.sgml is eresources:mail. This gives
each file its own cross reference namespace.
Rearranged a few sections, add memoryuse section.
current.sgml, ports.sgml, porting.sgml
Added a <label>s for cross reference targes.
submitters.sgml
Lots of editing, added cross references to other sections of
the handbook. Added a sample BSD-style copyright statement.
eresources.sgml
Updated the mailing list section, thanks to Peter Dufault.
authors.sgml
Added Peter Dufault, David Greenman and Joerg Wunsch.
memoryuse.sgml
A new section about how/where in PC memory the FreeBSD kernel
gets loaded and run.
