              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">There may actually be an advantage to doing the replace method
	      (and the order) over detach/attach. When you detach, certain
	      details are removed from the disk, so if something goes wrong
	      during the resilver, you can't just attempt to pop it back in.
	      Presumably this is the reason behind the ordering of operations
	      as well.</p>

              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">You are right: there is no <em>need</em> to <tt>zpool replace</tt>
	      in this case.  In fact, the man page indicates that this command
	      does what you say in a single step (the only difference is the
	      order of operations, and it's not critical):</p>
              <blockquote xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="man"><strong>zpool</strong><strong>replace</strong> [<strong>-f</strong>] <em>pool</em> <em>old_device</em> [<em>new_device</em>]

        Replaces <em>old_device</em> with <em>new_device</em>. This is equivalent to  attach-
        ing  <em>new_device</em>,  waiting  for  it  to resilver, and then detaching
        <em>old_device</em>.</blockquote>

              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Hi JM!</p>
              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	      Well, I though about writing a script for automagically
	      filling-in the <acronym title="Scalable Vector Graphics">SVG</acronym> document but I saw
	      a few issues in my case and I don't think it worth the time (can
	      be an amusing exam subject for students anyway):
	  </p>
              <ol xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
                <li>
		  As you mentioned, there are some numbers I don't want to have as
		  <em>fast call keys</em> (e.g. <tt>*1</tt>, <tt>123</tt>);
	      </li>
                <li>
		  Another point is that the log only has the numbers, not the
		  caller-id (i.e. real name) and in my
		  <acronym title="Lightweight Directory Access Protocol">LDAP</acronym> directory, a single telephone-number
		  can belong to multiple persons (I am considering to register
		  <em>places</em> in addition to <em>people</em> to circumvent
		  this limitation but I am not sure that this would really help
		  making my life easier anyway).  In such a situation, I can't
		  rely on the directory information to retrieve the label
		  corresponding to the number, and I have to pick a custom name
		  myself;
	      </li>
                <li>
		  Some names in the <acronym title="Lightweight Directory Access Protocol">LDAP</acronym> directory
		  are a bit too long and required to be shortened to fit in;
	      </li>
                <li>
		  A last point is grouping: I didn't want to order the numbers by
		  how often I use them, but rather by the category they belong to (e.g.
		  family, friends).
	      </li>
              </ol>
              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	      Taking all these rules into account would have required some
	      non-trivial development, and as I don't plan to change these
	      numbers every once a while, I stuck to filling-in the sheet
	      myself.
	  </p>
              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	      However, in a company context, auto-filling-in the template
	      definitively makes sense.  In this case, using the same source
	      to generate both the filled-in template (using
	      <acronym title="eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations">XSLT</acronym>) and the provisioning
	      configuration files would make the <em>fast call keys</em>
	      update for internal calls as easy as changing the sheet and
	      rebooting the telephone!
	  </p>
              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Happy end of year season!</p>

	      Since <acronym title="Scalable Vector Graphics">SVG</acronym> is a text-based format (an
	      <acronym title="eXtensible Markup Language">XML</acronym> language), you may create a script
	      that inserts into an <acronym title="Scalable Vector Graphics">SVG</acronym> template your
	      top-20 numbers (you can have a black-list file to remove the
	      unwanted numbers, the ones you don't want to flaunt on your
	      desk).<br/> The next step is to add a line in your crontab, that
	      checks if your numbers has been modified, and print the new
	      <acronym title="Portable Document Format">PDF</acronym>
	      in case of modification. :)

              <blockquote xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="cite">Can you clarify the statement <q>As of August 1st 2011,

              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The FreeBSD-TeXLive project aims at providing TeXLive as ports
	      for the FreeBSD operating system.  This effort was started in
	      late 2008 (<tt>texlive-2008</tt>) and is regularly updated to
	      track the project upstream (currently <tt>texlive-2011</tt>).
	      When a new TeXLive version is available, I try to post a note
	      about the FreeBSD-TeXLive ports being updated to advertise a
	      bit this project.</p>
              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">While I am a FreeBSD ports committer, TeXLive is not available
	      through the FreeBSD ports collection: when the project was
	      started, some other efforts where already engaged, but not yet
	      public.  Since I had basically no news since that, I am considering
	      sharpening the FreeBSD-TeXLive ports to eventually bring them to
	      the official tree: the teTeX maintainer has <a href="http://www.tug.org/tetex/">stopped the project more
		  than 5 years ago</a>, I think we have to switch!</p>
              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">This will require extensive work to update <a href="http://www.freshports.org/search.php?stype=depends_all&amp;method=match&amp;query=print/teTeX">existing

	      TeXLive instead (~150 ports).</p>

		  FreeBSD-TeXLive ports into the FreeBSD tree</a>, and any port
	      that depend on teTeX on your system will require a closer look to
	      avoid installing conflicting packages.</p>

              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">I have successfully installed 9.0-BETA 2 and have looked in
	      <tt>/usr/ports/print/texlive-*</tt>, but it does not exist in
	      native FreeBSD ports.  Can you clarify the statement <q>As of
		  August 1st 2011, the freebsd-texlive projects distributes
		  ports for using TeXLive 2011 from the FreeBSD ports tree</q>
	      on page <a href="http://code.google.com/p/freebsd-texlive/">http://code.google.com/p/freebsd-texlive/</a>?</p>
              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Due to many packages on FreeBSD depending on TeX mainly teTeX, I
	      successfully removed the TeXLive 2010 install from my FreeBSD 8.2
	      amd64 box.  I am using native teTeX on 2 of my 3 FreeBSD boxes.  I
	      don't see any TeXLive packages in native FreeBSD ports.  I have also
	      tried to install TeXLive through your advice in page using portshaker,
	      but have not succeeded.</p>
              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">If I install TeXLive from TeXLive DVD 2011, I get working tex, but
	      xdvi complain(s)(ed) about missing a <em>file****.so</em> and did not work
	      correctly.  I would like a tighter integration and would prefer if
	      possible to get the full scheme installed and configure the ports that
	      use teTeX to use TeXLive that you have made, but I have not
	      succeeded.</p>
              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Thank you for any pointers on this and if TeXLive is not in FreeBSD
	      ports, despite your enormous contributions and dedications; there is
	      sadly not much that we can do.  Many users complain that TeXLive is a
	      monster and that they prefer teTeX, but for me a full scheme is
	      preferred as it has the majority of style files that one needs.</p>

              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">I have recently installed FreeBSD 8.0.  I had used FreeBSD 6 back a while and liked it but my disk died and I did not install it again.  Now I installed on an AMD machine and installed kile and it pulled in tetex.  teTeX is old and unmaintained, I applied your solution in google code, but the tex is still the old tex, how can I make sure that I have TeXLive installed?</p>
              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">I did not know many more things like cvsup/csup and I am learning a little bit more and currently updating to newer.</p>
              <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Thanks for your TeXLive work. When will it become part of FreeBSD?  NetBSD has a port already?  Is it like going to happen soon?</p>
