4a61d51b9e Note two more places where the instructions only apply to the old codebase. 2012-01-07 16:14:03 +00:00

46eee08f22 Start adding notes about "setting up a new head node". 2012-01-07 00:15:52 +00:00

7e74462824 Hah ha, you thought there was really a -plistcheck. Nope, it's spelled 
-noplistcheck; checking plist is the default.

I can't even guess how long this has been the case.
 2011-12-10 07:47:09 +00:00
Mark Linimon
16b746020b Also recommend -plistcheck with -trybroken. 2011-12-09 04:59:37 +00:00
Mark Linimon
71ae0c65a2 Note that -trybroken without -fetch-original is kind of silly. You will 
get false positives for "now builds" for things that are just fetching
from a mirror.

d7fbfcb54f - Fix the ln instruction in portbuild.sh to DTRT. 
- Deprecate /tmp/blah.core for kern.corefile.  This is almost always
  the Wrong Thing, since /tmp is usually an md.
- Drop the modifications to usr/local/etc/rc.d/squid, and move them
  into /etc/rc.conf instead.
- Fix markup for the usr2 citations.
