documentation

As for documentation, the way it is, is inefficient. Different people are responsible for different pages of it, so when you suggest an improvement, they, understandably, aren't there for periods of time. The Handbook becomes stagnant, in this state. There is a stigma about wikis, because many...

I was thinking.. since I've just finished my FreeBSD/ZFS NAS build - wouldn't it be nice to have a thread on this forum somewhere where people can post their setup, and the way they've built their setup, and the problems they've encountered during the build, hardware components used etc. etc...

Why can't FreeBSD have online documentation editor for its official Handbook? It certainly will make things much easier for contributors to edit and update the Handbook online rather than installing CVS and trying to figure out how to use it. Personally, I think CVS is great for code...

Hello, in summer of last year I've started to work with FreeBSD, to get familiar with it. As a Linux user for a long time I've compared some things around documentation and I thought, that for example Arch Linux is much more well documented than FreeBSD and discussed it here. Some people here...

I have the documentation project ports and source files installed. I have previously done a full build of the documentation. Is there a setting to tell make to not build the entire document set once everything is built? To build just the stuff that has changed? Similar to NO_KERNCLEAN and...

I am trying to determine if my processor supports bhyve. Just reading the 21.7. FreeBSD as a Host with bhyve page. I can find the POPCNT flag when grepping /var/run/dmesg.boot but can't find a line with VT-x. In particular: CPU: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 3380 (2600.05-MHz K8-class CPU)...

First of all; yes - I do know how to load it. But this is interesting none the less. How are FreeBSD 10.x users going to know that they need to load the fuse kernel module? Let us look at a recent FreeBSD 10.2-stable machine: root@kg-z30b# uname -a FreeBSD kg-z30b.kg4.no 10.2-STABLE FreeBSD...

I'm in the middle of setting up a FreeBSD server using Ansible and I needed to skip prompts during a pkg install command to force it into 'unattended mode'. I am relatively still new to FreeBSD and am finding my way around the handbook but mostly using man pages, but this was not quite well...

The owner of freebsdwiki.net won't be maintaining that website any more, but he doesn't mind to continue hosting it. The website won't go offline overnight, and the data will most likely be preserved. It's no one's responsibility here, but I was wondering if it could be an asset here, or if any...

I am hitting a wall on getting devel/doxygen to install. I am unable to get past the make command. There seems to be a LaTex error and I am not sure how to correct it. I have no idea how to use LaTex or what it is trying to do here. I see that there has been a lot of Package hyperref warning:. I...

Hello, I use LaTeX everyday and unfortunately Doxygen calls teTeX port. There will be an option to use texlive instead of latex without modifying the port manually? Thank you.
