How come these exact procedures are not included in /usr/src/UPDATING after upgrading to 4.1? For example, the only mention of "mergemaster" is when upgrading from 3.x to 4.0 stable. I do not see any mention of the exact procedures below in my newly created /usr/src/UPDATING file after a cvsup to 4.1. Thanks, Corey On Sun, Jul 09, 2000 at 11:32:24PM -0500, Jeffrey J.
