Difficult to manage. You have to remember or know which branches to backport stuff to, and you can't then say "OK, we won't bother with 3.x anymore, but Handbook-3.x will remain around not needing further work for people using it", as future changes might not get pushed back. It would probably be easier using something like marked sections in a single handbook to separate out version-specific stuff from more general stuff; that way, at least it's all in one place, and you could just generate handbooks for any given branch off one source. Of course, it can get ugly to look at, too.. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
