I have upgraded from source yesterday to 4.0-Stable following the nice instructions at the beginning of UPDATING and everything turned out fine. Congratulations to the developpers and particularly to W. Losh for its addenda to UPGRADING. However, i am reading the stable mailing list and was aware that several people had screwed their machine doing this upgrade. Two weeks ago, the instructions in UPGRADING were everything except clear. So, as is often the case one needs to wait a little bit that several people run into trouble before plunging in the game. This is unfortunate, because it means that ordinary users (not following CURRENT) cannot test the candidate release as soon as possible, thereby detecting unusual bugs without risking very much. Had the correct and detailed explanations been written a month ago, it would have been very possible. -- Michel TALON To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
