You are a complete prick. Many people have agreed that there is a conflict in the documentation. I am not going to try to justify my actions for you. There is no point. You are an angry person and your comments are not constructive in any way. Other people have expressed their frustration that the documentation is sparse and that the UPDATING file which was empty for so long suddenly becomes a key component to the build process. If you cannot recognize that as a problem, you can piss off. I do not need to read the negative comments of a complete prick. Through my comments a few people have decided to put some effort into improving documentation and I am going to help in that effort. These efforts will result in a new site, greasydaemon.com.
