Er, and how does that help someone who cvsups a newer part of the tree and doesn't get the newer UPDATING? :) UPDATING only makes sense within the context it lives in right now. If you install sbase (or maybe ssrc, whatever the "base source" dist is) you should get this file during sysinstall with the version applicable to that release. I think what you want is probably that some of the info in src/UPDATING be duplicated in the release notes, which is where the info you are referring to really belongs. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
