From 568e399b340317242baff69fc46900962dd74106 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Murray Stokely Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2001 02:45:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Enclose contributors in tags. Remove extra prompts from examples. Remove lame text telling the user to "Forget about it" if a port is broken. Use absolute links since relative links don't mean much in PostScript form. --- .../books/handbook/ports/chapter.sgml | 41 ++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports/chapter.sgml b/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports/chapter.sgml index 7a5d8bfe49..6198eb3b44 100644 --- a/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports/chapter.sgml +++ b/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports/chapter.sgml @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ @@ -221,9 +221,18 @@ + + + + Chern + Lee + Contributed + + + + + Using the Packages System - Contributed by &a.chern;, April 30, 2001. - Installing a Package @@ -294,8 +303,7 @@ local: xchat-1.7.1.tgz remote: xchat-1.7.1.tgz Deleting a Package - &prompt.root pkg_delete xchat-1.7.1 -&prompt.root + &prompt.root pkg_delete xchat-1.7.1 &man.pkg.delete.1; is the utility for removing previously installed software package distributions. @@ -457,8 +465,7 @@ docbook = your system, you will be told where it is, like so: &prompt.root; whereis xchat -xchat: /usr/ports/irc/xchat -&prompt.root; +xchat: /usr/ports/irc/xchat This tells us that xchat (an irc client) can be found in the /usr/ports/irc/xchat directory. @@ -634,9 +641,9 @@ Receiving xchat-1.3.8.tar.bz2 (305543 bytes): 100% As you can see, the only difference is the line that tells you where the system is fetching the port from. - That about does it for installing ports onto your system. - In the section you will learn how to remove a port from your - system. + That about does it for installing ports onto your + system.
