You do not have to do a buildworld if you are only changing your kernel CONFIG (the file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf, such as GENERIC), but I think it has always been true that you need to buildworld if a cvsup has changed any sources in the kernel. There is no reason to have a special entry in UPDATING, as a buildworld in that case is just "standard operating practice". -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
