8.1 Preparation

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.

Note: 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-1.1

Set up 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 on 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 ~105MB free disk space.

A full CVS tree - including src, doc, www, and ports - is currently 940MB.
