Hi,

I tried to re-new the handbook I have on my system and dowloaded the 
tar.gz split handbook from the site. It gave me a lot of tar errors. The 
same happened when I attempted the FreeBSD package variant of the handbook:

tar: 
local/1/var/tmp/doc-build/build/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/../../../share/images/books
/handbook/vinum/vinum-mirrored-vol.png: Member name contains `..'


[ .... snip .... ]

tar: 
local/1/var/tmp/doc-build/build/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/../../../share/images/books
/handbook/vinum/vinum-raid10-vol.png: Member name contains `..'
tar: 
local/1/var/tmp/doc-build/build/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/../../../share/images/books
/handbook/vinum/vinum-raid5-org.png: Member name contains `..'
tar: 
local/1/var/tmp/doc-build/build/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/../../../share/images/books
/handbook/vinum/vinum-simple-vol.png: Member name contains `..'
tar:

tar: 
local/1/var/tmp/doc-build/build/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/../../../share/images/books
/handbook/vinum/vinum-striped.png: Member name contains `..'
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
pkg_add: tar extract of 
/usr3/tmp/handbook.en_US.ISO8859-1.html-split.tgz failed!
pkg_add: unable to extract 
'/usr3/tmp/handbook.en_US.ISO8859-1.html-split.tgz'!

I have no clue what this is, supposedly building the tar you used 
symlinks or so?

Best regards and thanks for the great work you put into the handbook 
(beside this little glitch)
