This is a belated announcement of the new ``/usr/ports/UPDATING'' file.=20
Like its counterpart in /usr/src, this file lists special updating
instructions and caveats.  Each entry lists the date of the change, the
affected port(s), the author of that entry, as well as a description of
the change, and what must be done to properly update the port(s) in
question.  For example,=20

  AFFECTS: users of www/firefox
  AUTHOR: [e-mail]

  After upgrading to firefox-1.0.1.p, certain things such as extension/them=
e
  [de]installation, and "Find On Page" may no longer work.  You may also
  notice an infinite loop when starting Firefox.  If this happens, backup
  ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/bookmarks.html, and remove ~/.mozilla/firefox.
  Afterward, Firefox should start up.  You can then restore the bookmarks.h=
tml
  file to the new ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default directory.
--- Example ends here ---

This file should be consulted before updating any ports.

In order to have the latest version of this file cvsup'd, be sure to
include either the ``ports-base'' or ``ports-all'' module in your ports
supfile.  It is highly recommended to use ``ports-all'' whenever
possible.=20

If you have specific questions about an entry, email the AUTHOR listed
for that entry.  If you have questions about the file itself, please
contact [e-mail].
