>Description:
	

The -p option for mergemaster is described as the
"pre-buildworld" option, but we actually advise using it
immediately before installworld.  Either one will work fine
as far as I can recall, but the difference has confused at
least one person on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

	

The easiest tweak would be to move the "mergemaster -p" to
immediately before the buildworld in the Handbook's
"Canonical Way to Update Your System".
