            Bug ID: 222692
           Summary: Source install shows using svn, not svnlite
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: bsd at haps.ca

The handbook on updating/instaling from source shows all commands using 'svn',
not 'svnlite'.  This is confusing to new users who have no svn.  In fact, none
of the pages in chapter 23 show svnlite.  I think it makes most sense to
replace occurrences of the svn command with svnlite, since it's universally
available.
The page in question is:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
However, the following page:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html
also mentions that: ``Typically, svn is used to check out the -CURRENT
code...''
It should probably also be updated to svnlite.  While it does link to the
subversion appendix, there is no need for full svn for checkout.

Thanks!
