Use a disk with sufficient free space. You may need anything from 200 MB to over 500 MB, depending on the method you choose. This space will hold the XML tools, a subset of the svn tree, temporary build space and the installed web pages.
Make sure your documentation ports are up to date! When in doubt, remove the old ports using pkg_delete(1) command before installing the port. For example, we currently depend on jade-1.2 and if you have installed jade-1.1, please do:
# pkg_delete jade-1.1svn is necessary to “check
out” the necessary files from the
doc/ Subversion repository.
svn can be installed with pkg_add(1)
or from the FreeBSD Ports Collection by running:
# cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion# make install cleanTo check out the full source files for the FreeBSD website, run:
# svn checkout https://svn0.us-east.FreeBSD.org/doc/head/ /usr/buildsvn0.us-east.FreeBSD.org
is a public SVN server.
Select the closest mirror and verify the mirror server
certificate from the list of Subversion
mirror sites.
If svn is not run as
root, be sure /usr/build has the proper
permissions for the current user. If changing the
permissions is not possible, use a different target
directory for the website files.
When svn finishes, the current version
of the FreeBSD website will exist within /usr/build. If a different
target directory was used, replace /usr/build appropriately
throughout the remainder of this document.
That's it! You can now proceed with the website build.
