Errr.... If folks actually want to type that much ... more power to them. I find that when I type a lot, I make a lot of mistakes. I don't like making mistakes. So a whlie back (2013 or so, from revision history), I took the instructions from UPDATING under "To rebuild everything and install it on the current system" and implemnted them as a set of (csh) aliases ... after adding a bit of local "seasoning." So now I use "_bw" to do all of that stuff. (Well, I do it within script(1), in a tmux(1) session. And I copy/paste the invocation.) I'm tracking head and (currently) stable/14 daily on 3 machines, one of which is the laptop on which I'm typing this. Said laptop is presently running: g1-124(14.3-S)[4] uname -aUK FreeBSD g1-124.catwhisker.org 14.3-STABLE FreeBSD 14.3-STABLE #441 stable/14-n271545-2919a487021a: Thu May 22 11:39:36 UTC 2025 r...@g1-124.catwhisker.org:/common/S1/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/CANARY amd64 1403501 1403501 Information on how I do this (though, yeah, the doc lags reality a bit; sorry) is at https://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/upgrade.html Anyway: we have tools. We can make tools. We can make tools that make doing things easier (and less error-prone). Peace, david -- David H.
