rG73a02425e434: build.7: Improve make delete-old example
rG1d69c8e4ac7d: build.7: Improve make delete-old example
Summary

Be more explicit that deleting old files and libraries needs to be
really after you're rebooted a third time and you're really actually
sure your applications aren't using old libs, following irc discussion.

Also adjust an example slightly to fit on 80 character console.

Should be consistent, also check for additional occurrences.

I would be tempted to leave make delete-old here and only defer make delete-old-libs to the new paragraph. In practice I always run make delete-old right after etcupdate -B. It's only make delete-old-libs that I defer until after updating packages.

Agreed. They're split into two targets for a reason.

rebase due to addressing feedback in previous revision.

i didn't report this

i got this information from your mail on the pkgbase list, iiuc im supposed to then credit you with reported by.

i think we also need to document the behaviour of building multiple kernels in KERNCONF

agree. i think we should put that in the KERNCONF entry, im going to attempt it in a subsequent revision.
