Nor does it require anything more than is on the system right now. Often, this is sufficient. Sometimes it isn't. The buildkernel version was done to keep people from shooting themselves...

Is there value in documentation the old method as alternative or are people using it out of habit? -- Eitan Adler Source, Ports, Doc committer Bugmeister, Ports Security teams
