                      4: changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for
                      5: what to do if something doesn't work.
1.1       abs         6:
1.123     jmc         7: For a more detailed description of the recommended way to build NetBSD
                      8: using build.sh, see the BUILDING file.

                     10: Note that much of the advice in this UPDATING file was written before
                     11: build.sh existed.  Nevertheless, the advice here may be useful for
                     12: working around specific problems with build.sh.

                     22:        steps may fail, or if not, have been observed to cause

1.234.2.3! bouyer     28:        and 20120216, daily and weekly could have created an unreadable
1.234.2.1  riz        29:        /var/db/man.db index for apropos. Running makemandb -f or

                     38:        The "rnd" pseudodevice has been added to sys/conf/std, which
                     39:        means it should no longer be explicitly listed in kernel
                     40:        configuration files.  The line "pseudo-device rnd" should be
                     41:        removed from any custom kernel config files users may have.

                     46:        bit compatibility very painful) has been fixed in a
                     47:        non-backwards-compatible way.  If you replace your kernel,
                     48:        replace your rndctl executable too.

                     54:        quota2 code and its tests) are updated together with the new lib.

                     66:        the tree to be cleaned.  Best to delete both objdir and
                     67:        DESTDIR before running this update.  So far, only the
                     68:        sparc64, mips and powerpc platforms have changed.

                     72:        update build you will have to remove the contents of the OBJDIR
                     73:        for external/public-domain/xz/bin by hand as the xz entry there

                     83:        ordering issues with "make all". It may be necessary to remove
                     84:        the OBJDIR for external/mit/xorg/server/xorg-server/hw/xfree86
                     85:        if your update build fails, as the "Xorg" entry there is now a

                     91:        correctly by build.sh.  Manual builds have to update /usr/share/mk
                     92:        and re-run config(1) for any kernel configurations as needed.

                     96:        by default. It may be necessary to manually update passwd(5) and
                     97:        group(5) in order to make the program work with existing setups.

                    101:        variables with names that contain '='. Revision 1.18 of env.c
                    102:        assumed that this was allowed. Installing a new libc with an
