You mention release notes. Slightly off-topic, but I never understood = why, if there was a beta or RC available, the release-notes of the time = weren=E2=80=99t available on www.freebsd.org <http://www.freebsd.org/>. Wouldn=E2=80=99t that make sense to see if there were things you wanted = to try out and test? Anyway, more on topic, it seems that if one is on -CURRENT (or possibly = -STABLE), you=E2=80=99re building from source, and should be expected to = read UPDATING. That much is on the site. (But that would be /usr/src, = not /usr/ports). Did this happen mid-line in a stable?
