My recent upgrading experience led to the installkernel portion of 'make kernel' failing on the lack of an auditdistd user, for which 'mergemaster -p' was ample workaround. However, the instructions for "to rebuild everything" in UPDATING still have 'mergemaster -p' before installworld and after kernel/installkernel. There is a bug here, but it could be either a documentation bug (fix UPDATING) or a code bug (only check UID/GIDs before installworld and not installkernel, which only ever uses root:wheel). Unfortunately, testing code for the latter is somewhat time-consuming. Pawel mentioned on #bsddev that he had an untested patch for the latter. Is there interest in testing that and getting it in the tree? (Or would people prefer to just change UPDATING?) -Ben
