Why is this new procedure necessary. I recall reading is because of some new additions, but what were these additions (I have seen the name, but have no clue what they are.. binutils?) and why the new, more cumbersome, procedure? francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate
If you missed one of Kris Kennaway's previous messages about this, this is how he described it:
--SNIP-- Buildkernel internally handles tool dependency problems, where the kernel build depends on tools which were built by make installworld, but not yet installed on the system. The alternative is to post a detailed list of which bits must be installed before you can build your new kernel, each time it happens, which is error-prone and subject to people not reading their mail (oops, which is exactly what happened this time around). --SNIP--
Can someone (who is knowledgable enough to explain it properly, otherwise I would make a go at it) put this in handbook/makeworld.html? I just read it and it still says to do your kernel upgrade after doing make world (or make installworld). There is a -CURRENT section in there detailing -j4, so why not a 4.0-STABLE (and higher) section detailing this change to the kernel building procedure and why it is now preferred over make world/installworld and then kernel config/make depend/make/make install kernel building procedure?
