Description Niels Bakker 2018-06-26 14:15:09 UTC

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/11.2/UPDATING?revision=335510&view=markup

line 9 contains the following URL, which leads to a 404:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-src.html

but it should probably link to:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

Fixed in stable branches now.  Unfortunately, it cannot be fixed in the releng/11.2 branch, but I have documented it in the 11.2 errata page.

Thank you for the report.
