If you do it that way, you have to generate the html files yourself,
cvup fetches generic data files that can be used to generate html , pdf
etc.

What I do these days is mirror the online version with wget.



#!/bin/sh

cd /usr/share/doc/en

wg_args=" --mirror -np -nH --cut-dirs=2 --limit-rate=33k"

bg_flags=""

# Run quietly from cron
[ ! -t 0 ] && bg_flags=" --quiet "

wget $bg_flags $wg_args  "http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/"
