Undo Revision 1.74 for the moment. Seems some of the entities
- a.alpha
- a.qa
- a.smp
are still used somewhere in the documentation.
So removing will cause build failures in these documents (a.qa for example is referenced in articles/releng).
The three public technical mailing lists:
freebsd-alpha
freebsd-qa
freebsd-smp
have been removed. While their archives remain, it is no longer
possible to post to or receive messages from them.
Based on a patch provided by: David Wolfskill (david att catwhisker dott org)
More specifically:
- mentions of old versions of FreeBSD in historical context are left in tact
- remove section about KerberosIV
- remove section about SAP R/3
- remove mentions of XFree86
- only support gvinum
- update examples to 7.X or 8.X
- remove Alpha support
- add COMPAT_FREEBSD[67] kernel options
- csup(1) now only in the base system
- update (tty) device names, add warnings for 7.X
- remove MD5 from the port checksum algorithms
- update port versions (probably not all)
- add definitions for ctm-src[5-8] to mailing-lists.ent
