Summary

The website currently fails to render the macro and presents a confusing "FreeBSD {rel142-current}-STABLE" and incorrect links.

Event Timeline

Looking at the doc commit logs, there doesn't seem to be a convention about how to prefix the component as described in the Committer's Guide. In the ports tree, when we update a port, we use category/port, which is the path in the tree. This adds a slight convenience when doing something like git log --oneline because the location of the change can be seen without showing the commit. With that, how do you feel about this commit log?

Sounds good!

And it gives me the lead for another TODO: the commiter's guide article could probably benefit from an additional clarification on how to build a commit message for documentation updates on the handbook and website... :)

On second thought, I'm not sure we want a section for FreeBSD 14.2-STABLE when 14.2-BETA2 is available. Let's see what re@ as to say.

Yes, we want that section.

Also, oops, I started using :rel142-current: without checking that it was defined. I'll add that to my release process list (bumping where.adoc to X.Y-STABLE is part of the X.Y release process).

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Mon, Nov 11, 9:22 PM

Good thinking. I was wondering whether I might be breaking some release related processes when I re-read the header this morning.

Great. Thanks both. I'll commit now.
