Hiroki Sato cfd9e12239 www cleanup mega commit:
- Move includes.nav*.sgml to share/sgml/navibar.ent and
   <lang>/share/sgml/nabibar.l10n.ent.

 - Move includes.sgml and includes.xsl to
   share/sgml/common.ent, share/sgml/header.ent, <lang>/share/sgml/l10n.ent,
   and <lang>?share/sgml/header.l10n.ent.

 - Move most of XSLT libraries to share/sgml/*.xsl and
   <lang>/share/sgml/*.xsl.

 - Move news.xml and other *.xml files for the similar purpose
   to share/sgml/*.xml and <lang>/share/sgml/*.xml.

 - Switch to use a custom DTD for HTML document.  Now we use
   "-//FreeBSD//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional-Based Extension", which is
   HTML 4.01 + some entities previously pulled via
   "<!ENTITY % includes SYSTEM "includes.sgml"> %includes;" line.
   The location of entity file will be resolved by using catalog file.

 - Add DOCTYPE declearation to XML documents.  This makes the followings
   possible:

   * Use of &foo; entities for SGML in an XML file instead of defining
     {$foo} as the same content.

   * &symbolic; entities for Latin characters.

 - Duplicated information between SGML and XML, or English and
   translated doc, has been removed as much as possible.

be considered the definitive place to look *first* before reporting
a problem with this release. This file will also be periodically
updated as new issues are reported so even if you've checked this
file recently, check it again before filing a bug report. Any
changes to this file are also automatically emailed to:

For 2.2.8 security advisories, see:

For the latest information.
---- Security Advisories:
Current active security advisories for 2.2.8: None
---- System Update Information:
<strong>o /usr/sbin/sysctl is an invalid link and whereis(1) doesn't work.</strong>
Fix: sysctl(8) has actually moved to /sbin/sysctl. Simply create
a symbolic link for compatability purposes as follows:
ln -sf /sbin/sysctl /usr/sbin
or syncronize your sources with 2.2-stable and rebuild/install
from /usr/src/usr.bin/whereis/ and just rm /usr/sbin/sysctl
<strong>o /usr/share/doc/FAQ is in spanish.</strong>
Fix: This was a build failure which affected only the FAQ and has since
been fixed. If you are already cvsup/CTM'ing the doc-all tag then
you can simply remake and install the FAQ from sources, otherwise
grab ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/FAQ.tar.gz and unpack
as follows: tar --unlink -xvzf FAQ.tar.gz -C /usr/share/doc
to get an english FAQ.
<strong>o getpwnam(3) semantics are incorrect in some cases.</strong>
Fix: If passed a string longer than the maximum allowed for a user name,
getpwnam will incorrectly return an entry for a user that matches the
initial characters in the string up to the maximum length allowed for a
user name. To correct this behaviour, libc needs to be patched and
recompiled. The appropriate patch can be obtained from:
http://cvsweb.FreeBSD.org/src/lib/libc/gen/getpwent.c.diff?r1=1.35.2.2&amp;r2=1.35.2.3
