>Number: 43430 >Category: docs >Synopsis: Documentation incorrect in /usr/src/Makefile >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-doc >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: doc-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Fri Sep 27 10:40:02 PDT 2002 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Steve Davidson >Release: 4.6-STABLE (9-27-02) about 4.7 RC2 >Organization: >Environment: 4.6-STABLE (9-27-02) about 4.7 RC2 >Description: I did a cvsup of the 4.6 RELENG (STABLE) branch and then read /usr/src/Makefile and found these instructions: # For individuals wanting to upgrade their sources (even if only a # delta of a few days): # # 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree). # 2. `make buildworld' # 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # 5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt). # 6. `mergemaster -p' # 7. `make installworld' # 8. `mergemaster' # 9. `reboot' # There is no '-p' option to mergemaster; it is difficult to understand what conceptually '-p' would have done if it existed. >How-To-Repeat: Have a look at /usr/src/Makefile >Fix: Fix the documentation. Also elaborate (a little) as to what the steps achieve. I can and did read the mergemaster docs so no need to repeat, but '-p' isn't in the mergemaster docs. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
