Source upgrade doc: etcupdate no longer needs -B

2026-06-21T17:54:17Z

Note: We confusingly have the instructions to build the system in the build manual, the UPDATING file, and the Makefile. These will get out of sync and will be harmful when they do.

universe: emit warning instead of error for bad/missing KERNCONF

2026-05-21T14:17:03Z

When doing a large `make universe` build with multiple KERNCONFS, it should not be an error when a particular target has a missing KERNCONF. In this example, ``` $ make universe TARGETS='arm64 riscv' KERNCONFS='QEMU VIRT' ``` Currently, arm64 does not have a QEMU conf, and riscv does not have a VIRT conf. However, this command should still succeed instead of failing with the following message: ``` make[2]: /usr/src/Makefile:767: Target architecture for riscv/conf/VIRT unknown. config(8) likely too old. in .for loop from /usr/src/Makefile:761 with kernel = VIRT in make[2] in directory "/usr/src" make[2]: stopped making "universe_kernels" in /usr/src ``` Since the opposite is true, we should build whatever confs are available from the requested list of KERNCONFS, while making sure to still emit warnings along the way.

Makefile: Force DISTDIR=/ for (update-)packages

2025-10-08T03:22:32Z

The make(1) variable DISTDIR is used by both ports and src with a different meaning. Some users may set DISTDIR in /etc/make.conf for ports, which previously worked fine when building src since the src targets which used this variable were not very commonly used (mainly, make distributeworld). Unfortunately, with pkgbase becoming the default, this is no longer true since make (update-)packages invokes make stageworld, which is sensitive to DISTDIR, and these users find that their build now fails. A correct fix for this probably requires renaming one or both of the DISTDIR variables, but for now, work around the problem by setting DISTDIR=/ for the user-facing pkgbase targets, packages and update-package. Since setting DISTDIR doesn't work for these targets anyway, this should not break any existing configurations.

The (update-)packages targets require buildworld and buildkernel to run first. Add some .ORDER statements to ensure this happens. This fixes 'make -j8 buildworld buildkernel packages'.

This broke `make makeman` by unconditionally adding output to all top level targets. Lacking an obvious and trivial workaround, it makes sense to back it out and rethink.
