Bug ID: 288455
Summary: pkg.conf(5) truncated sentence in section VARIABLES
for OSVERSION, and mis-spell "Specifiy"
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Manual Pages
Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: sr@genyosha.net
CC: doc@FreeBSD.org
In pkg.conf(5) man page there appears to be a truncated sentence in the
VARIABLES section for the item OSVERSION:
OSVERSION
If targeting FreeBSD, expands to the target version in the same
format as __FreeBSD_version in
Note the lack of a trailing "." period like other items. I suspect this
sentence is intended to have similar content as the corresponding OSVERSION
item in the OPTIONS section, i.e. the rest of the sentence is presumably:
/usr/include/sys/param.h.
Also, there is a typo/mis-spell in OSVERSION text in the OPTIONS section:
OSVERSION: integer
Specifiy the exact FreeBSD version for the target ABI. This
should be set in combination with the ABI option. The
format is the same as the format of __FreeBSD_version in
/usr/include/sys/param.h. Default: derived based on
ABI_FILE.
I think "Specifiy" should be "Specify".
