Re: correct way to do links?

What is the correct usage for Docbook 4/5 for each type of link?

1. Links to another section within the same document:

Is this a  with the description to appear specified or an  with the 
section automatically rendered?

Yes.


2. Links to another book or article within the FDP:

Is this a  with the description to appear specified or an  with the 
section automatically rendered?
No. These work in a single documentation only. The best solution 
currently available is using  with a link to the XHTML version of 
the document at the FreeBSD website. The drawback of this is that it 
hardcodes the URL into the documents. A more XML-friendly solution would 
be olinking but it has never been configured and used in FreeBSD's 
DocBook sources. It could be a longer-term target to change to that but 
for now,  will do.


3. Should links to an external website use a  tag, an url=, and the 
description to appear? For example:

http://www.wi-fi.org/";>Wi-Fi alliance

Yes.

Re: RFC: Upgrading to DocBook 5.0

2013-06-19 Thread Gabor Kovesdan

Em 17-06-2013 22:05, Dru Lavigne escreveu:

Can we have a summary for the FDP (and for the benefit of Handbook editors) of 
when/if systemitem class= should be used? Are there also systemitems for the 
different types of s which should be used instead?

The systemitem element is documented well here:
http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/systemitem.html

When to specify the class atttribute is our decision and as you see, 
there are different preferences. And it is important to note that at the 
moment we are using our extensions and  will only be used 
once we upgrade to DB 5.0. So the documentation should not be updated 
with this in head but in db5.


As for filename, it will be still  and we already use 
correctly the class names, yet it should be documented. The DocBook 
reference is here:

http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/filename.html

As for the FDP, it is another item, which we have to solve. I have some 
ideas in my mind but I haven't got there yet so I haven't started a 
discussion. First, I would like to more clearly separate it into 2-3 parts:
1, A technology introduction: XML, XHTML, DocBook, XSLT. A concise 
introduction to the ideas behind these technologies and how they can be 
used for technical documentation. I think it should be like a tutorial, 
which includes references but it's no use trying to create another XML, 
XHTML or DocBook reference. It should be limited to the minimal 
knowledge that is necessary to get started with our docs.
2, How we use these technologies in our documentation set, i.e. the 
FreeBSD-specific things. One with previous knowledge in DocBook would be 
able to start reading here. It could fit here whether we use classes on 
systemitems and how our .mk files work, etc.

3, The FreeBSD writing style. General advices, spelling, etc.

broken instructions for buildkernel

2013-06-19 Thread Tony Hain
The steps in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html
are simply broken/incomplete. This sequence goes straight from 'get the src'
to 'make buildkernel'. Doing that to build 10-current on a 9.1 fresh install
results in "no previous prototype for yyparse". Searching for that error
string shows it has been a recurring problem; & returns comments like   :::
"you must do make buildworld first" :::
If buildworld is a prereq, why isn't that in the instruction sequence? Even
if it is only required once, on a fresh install it should be possible to
look at the FreeBSD docs and build a custom kernel without hitting errors
and having to search for hints. 

On a separate but related note: the instruction to 'cp GENERIC
/root/kernels/MYKERNEL' seems
pointless/dated/waste-of-disk-space/likely-to-result-in-confusion-over-time.
Direct editing of the entirety of a copy of GENERIC makes it harder to
figure out what changes were made specifically for local functions later
when GENERIC might have changed in an update. In searching for Hyper-V
related builds I stumbled across the mechanism of using 'include' to pull in
a current GENERIC, then isolate all local changes in the system specific
file. It seems like this would be a better example to be using for the main
doc. Something like

# FreeBSD kernel conf local customizations
#edits to this file allow the GENERIC file to remain
untouched
#
include /usr/src/sys/PLATFORM/conf/GENERIC

# target kernel name
ident   MYKERNEL

# GENERIC has debug symbols set 
makeoptsMODULES_OVERRIDE=""

# PPS support enable
options PPS_SYNC

The instructions for tracking a development branch cover the use case
you want:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/current-stable.html

What you were looking at is used for building a kernel from a source
tree that is already in sync with the installed kernel/world. e.g,
enabling PF/ALTQ.

It isn't a prereq.  Those instructions have remained largely unchanged for
years for a reason. You were following instructions on how to build a new
kernel when in fact you were trying to upgrade FreeBSD.

Use these steps and you'll get a lot farther:
