Thus spake jkoshy@FreeBSD.ORG (jkoshy@FreeBSD.ORG): > We do not publish instructions for -STABLE users to update > their systems to the next -STABLE release via a source upgrade. > "/usr/src/UPDATING" is not for -stable consumption. Hmm. I'm not sure if I agree. The handbook-part of "make world" clearly states, that one should read UPDATING to encouter specific problems that can occur while updating. These information can't be included into the handbook, since the handbook applies to all branches and would only waste space. That is, what UPDATING is for. On the other hand, -stable's UPDATING is kept VERY userfriendly, and I really don't see a problem with it. Alex -- cat: /home/alex/.sig: No such file or directory Can this be closed? -- Daniel Harris State Changed From-To: open->closed I was mistaken. There /is/ reasonable documentation on upgrading via source on -STABLE. |
