If the "UPDATING" = file did not exist, I'd be looking elsewhere for the changes. But it = does exist and so should be complete (perhaps, it should be = auto-generated based on the commit-history of the NOTES and GENERIC = kernel-configs?) http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/kernelconfig-config.html : For an exhaustive list of architecture dependent options and devices, = see the NOTES file in the same directory as the GENERIC file. For = architecture independent options, see /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES. I duno if this is documentation or not .. the handbook states that this = is a list :) Also I'm pretty sure there was an entry for the USB changes in UPDATING: 20090223: The new USB2 stack has now been permanently moved in and all = kernel and module names reverted to their previous values (eg, usb, ehci, = ohci, ums, ...). The old usb stack can be compiled in by prefixing = the name with the letter 'o', the old usb modules have been removed. Updating entry 20090216 for xorg and 20090215 for libmap may = still apply. There was a huge change for the GENERIC at this date (+29 -88 lines) so = it's doesn't sound correct to document verbosely all of them in UPDATING. -cut-=20 -- Best Wishes, Stefan Lambrev ICQ# 24134177
