Get 200MB free disk space. You will need the disk space for the SGML tools, a subset of the CVS tree, temporary build space and the installed web pages. If you already have installed the SGML tools and the CVS tree, you need only ~100MB free disk space. Make sure your documentation ports are up to date! When in doubt, remove the old ports using &man.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 &prompt.root; pkg_delete jade-1.1 Setup a CVS repository. You need the directories www, doc and ports in the CVS tree (plus the CVSROOT of course). Please read the CVSup introduction http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/synching.html#CVSUP how to mirror a CVS tree or parts of a CVS tree. The essential cvsup collections are: www, doc-all, cvs-base, and ports-base. These collections require ~100MB free disk space. A full CVS tree - including src, doc, www, and ports - is currently 650MB large. Go to into a build directory with at least 60MB of free space. &prompt.root; mkdir /var/tmp/webbuild &prompt.root; cd /var/tmp/webbuild Checkout the SGML files from the CVS tree. &prompt.root; cvs -R co www doc Change in to the www directory, and run the &man.make.1; links target, to create the necessary symbolic links. &prompt.root; cd www &prompt.root; make links Change in to the en directory, and run the &man.make.1; all target, to create the web pages. &prompt.root; cd en &prompt.root; make all If you have moved out of the en directory, change back to it. &prompt.root; cd path/www/en Run the &man.make.1; install target, setting the DESTDIR variable to the name of the directory you want to install the files to. &prompt.root; make DESTDIR=/usr/local/www install If you have previously installed the web pages in to the same directory the install process will not have deleted any old or outdated pages. For example, if you build and install a new copy of the site every day, this command will find and delete all files that have not been updated in three days. &prompt.root; find /usr/local/www -ctime 3 -print0 | xargs -0 rm CVSROOT Location of the CVS tree. Essential. &prompt.root; CVSROOT=/home/ncvs; export CVSROOT ENGLISH_ONLY If set and not empty, the makefiles will build and install only the English documents. All translations will be ignored. E.g.: &prompt.root; make ENGLISH_ONLY=YES all install If you want unset the variable ENGLISH_ONLY and build all pages, including translations, set the variable ENGLISH_ONLY to an empty value &prompt.root; make ENGLISH_ONLY="" all install clean WEB_ONLY If set and not empty, the makefiles wil build and install only the HTML pages from the www directory. All documents from the doc directory (Handbook, FAQ, Tutorials) will be ignored. E.g.: &prompt.root; make WEB_ONLY=YES all install NOPORTSCVS If set, the makefiles will not checkout files from the ports cvs repository. Instead, it will copy the files from /usr/ports (or where the variable PORTSBASE points to). CVSROOT is an environment variable. You must set it on the command line or in your dot files (~/.profile). WEB_ONLY, ENGLISH_ONLY and NOPORTSCVS are makefile variables. You can set the variables in /etc/make.conf, Makefile.inc or as environment variables on the command line or in your dot files.
