New Revision: 216591
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/216591
Log:
Suggest to run the delete-old target after the second mergemaster. If you run
it before, your rc scripts may still reference old files/directories and
if you are in the unlucky situation to have triggered a reboot (intentionally
or not) between the delete-old run and the mergemaster, your system may not
start anymore.
While I'm here, give a hint about delete-old-libs.
