Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to upgrade +the files in this directory via patches and a cvs commit. + +To upgrade to a newer version of groff, when it is available: + 1. Unpack the new version into an empty directory. + [Do not make ANY changes to the files.] + + 2. Use the command: + cvs import -m 'Virgin import of FSF groff v<version>' \ + src/contrib/groff FSF v<version> + + For example, to do the import of version 1.19, I typed: + cvs import -m 'Virgin import of FSF groff v1.19' \ + src/contrib/groff FSF v1_19 + + 3. Follow the instructions printed out in step 2 to resolve any + conflicts between local FreeBSD changes and the newer version. + +Do not, under any circumstances, deviate from this procedure. + +To make local changes to groff, simply patch and commit to the main +branch (aka HEAD).
