I'm running cvsup here; can you remind me what the cvsup configuration
file should look like to pick up the FreeBSD tree? I'll get the
sources for your docs stuff here, which for looking at source code is
easier than wading across the Internet to Marc's machine.

Will davenport-request@berkshire.net get me subscribed??

It would be great to have Norm's input on the discussions, so perhaps
we can cross-post if davenport is not archived.

A supfile like the following;

    *default tag=.
    *default host=cvsup666.freebsd.org
    *default prefix=/usr
    *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
    *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
  
    doc-all

Change the host= line, and the base= line as necessary.  That'll give
you /usr/doc/*.  As a special case, you can do

    % cd /usr/doc/en/handbook
    % make

If you put the files anywhere else you'll need to define the DOC_PREFIX
variable (the above is a special case of "make DOC_PREFIX=/usr/doc").

Make sure you've got an up to date version of the DSSSL stylesheets 
installed, v1.38b or 1.40 is good.  Take a look in doc/share/mk/*.mk to
see the other tweakable options that you might want to set.

Yep.  I don't know if subscriptions are moderated or not.  Keep in mind 
that Norm's incommunicado for another week or so.

I don't have a problem with that.  I'd run it past the davenport list
members first though.
