Web site hooks for the release notes (-*- text -*-).
|
|
$FreeBSD$
|
|
|
|
|
|
To enable building the release notes with the web site, edit Makefile
|
|
in this directory and set the RELNOTES variable, then set
|
|
BUILD_RELNOTES when you build the web site as you would, say,
|
|
ENGLISH_ONLY. The RELNOTES variable a list; the first word is the
|
|
"name" of these release notes, and the second word is the path to the
|
|
root of the release notes set. The semantics are similar to those of
|
|
MLINKS in bsd.man.mk. It would be nice if the list ($RELNOTES) could
|
|
be set on the command line a la BUILD_RELNOTES instead of having to be
|
|
changed in the Makefile, but that would require modifications to
|
|
web.site.mk to teach it to propagate the RELNOTES variable when
|
|
running make for SUBDIRs.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to build the release notes for -CURRENT and
|
|
4-STABLE, and they are checked out in /usr/relnotes/current and
|
|
/usr/relnotes/4stable, respectively, you might use the following:
|
|
|
|
RELNOTES= CURRENT /usr/relnotes/current
|
|
RELNOTES+= 4STABLE /usr/relnotes/4stable
|
|
|
|
Note that you shouldn't simply use 'STABLE' as a name, since there may
|
|
be multiple -STABLE branches.
|
|
|
|
Obviously if you're going to do this, you're going to have to make
|
|
sure the release notes are updated along with the rest of the www/ and
|
|
doc/ hierarchies.
|
|
|
|
It would be nice if all the mirrors used the same "names"; freefall
|
|
would be the ideal place to set the precedent, but unfortunately it's
|
|
not building the release notes yet. If you're a mirror that wants to
|
|
set this up, please send e-mail to the freebsd-doc list asking what
|
|
you should use, and be prepared to change when freefall catches up.
