The documentation isn't really a part of the base system, it isn't branched, it's continuously updated, it's similar to the ports tree. Older install disks had a snapshot. Having a port/package that installs the snapshot makes it a lot easier to keep up to date. You used to have to use csup to fetch the "source" files and then build the html, pdf, etc which used a lot of CPU. I gave up on it and synced the html version from the website - a port is better. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
