In particular, you may wish to read the section dealing with updating=20 from 4.0-Release to 4-STABLE. If you are wondering why such a change in the classical procedure was=20 decided, you will want to browse the -stable archives as well,=20 starting from July 10, 2000. If you do that, you will also learn about=20 what kind of problems occurred to those who did not [bother to] follow=20 the recommended procedure. In /usr/src/UPDATING, you should not fail to notice the mergemaster(8)=20 step; which step is also indicated in the handbook (cf chap. 18.4.7).
