Subject: softupdates in latest build?

Folks,

	I built a machine on Friday w/ FreeBSD-STABLE.  Of course, this 
was just before certain fixes were committed that would allow it to 
actually successfully build a kernel, so I went back today and 
cvsup'ed to the latest version.

	However, it would appear that /usr/src/contrib/sys was not 
included in this update, so any kernel that you might want to build 
with softupdates enabled would not be possible.


	I got a copy of the necessary files from another machine I built 
a little while back (and which did not need to be cvsup'ed in order 
to be able to build a kernel), so I think I'll be able to get this to 
work.

	However, the bigger question is why is this necessary?  Did I 
miss something fundamental with regards to cvsup that is explained 
somewhere on <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/stable.html> or 
<http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html#CVSUP>, or perhaps 
elsewhere in the manual?


	Thanks!

   Unix is very user-friendly.  It's just picky who its friends are.
