Move all the reference manuals to subdirs of /usr/share/doc/reference. We have subdirs ref1-ref9, corresponding to man page sections 1-9. Everything that's the reference manual for a program (sections 1, 6, 8), C interface (sections 2, 3), driver or file system (section 4), format or configuration (section 5), or kernel internal interface (section 9) belongs in here. Section 7 is a little less clear: some things that might go in section 7 if they were a man page aren't really reference manuals. So I'm only putting things in reference section 7 that are (to me) clearly reference material, rather than e.g. tutorials, guides, FAQs, etc. This obviously leaves some room for debate, especially without first editing the docs with this distinction in mind, but if people hate what I've done things can always be moved again. Note also that while roff macro man pages traditionally go in section 7, I have put all the roff documentation (macros, tools, etc.) in one place in reference/ref1/roff. This will make it easier to find and also easier to edit it into some kind of coherent form. |

$NetBSD: README,v 1.5 2003/12/04 23:32:37 keihan Exp $ Organization of Sources: This directory hierarchy is using a new organization that separates the GNU sources from the BSD-style infrastructure used to build the GNU sources. The GNU sources are kept in the standard GNU source tree layout under: dist/* The build infrastructure uses the normal BSD way under: lib/* usr.bin/* The makefiles in the above hierarchy will "reach over" into the GNU sources (src/gnu/dist) for everything they need. Maintenance Strategy: The sources under src/gnu/dist are generally a combination of some published distribution plus changes that we submit to the maintainers and that are not yet published by them. There are a few files that are never expected to be submitted to the FSF, (i.e. BSD-style makefiles and such) and those generally should stay in src/gnu/lib or src/gnu/usr.bin (the BSD build areas). Make sure all changes made to the GNU sources are submitted to the appropriate maintainer, but only after coordinating with the NetBSD maintainers by sending your proposed submission to the <tech-toolchain@NetBSD.org> mailing list. Only send the changes to the third-party maintainers after consensus has been reached.
