Folks, I built a machine on Friday w/ FreeBSD-STABLE. Of course, this was just before certain fixes were committed that would allow it to actually successfully build a kernel, so I went back today and cvsup'ed to the latest version. However, it would appear that /usr/src/contrib/sys was not included in this update, so any kernel that you might want to build with softupdates enabled would not be possible. I got a copy of the necessary files from another machine I built a little while back (and which did not need to be cvsup'ed in order to be able to build a kernel), so I think I'll be able to get this to work. However, the bigger question is why is this necessary? Did I miss something fundamental with regards to cvsup that is explained somewhere on <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/stable.html>; or <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html#CVSUP>, or perhaps elsewhere in the manual?
