-         <para>Bitbake is being revised fairly often. Periodically it's a good
-               idea to check the repository of bitbake stable branches to see if a
-               new stable branch is available or if the current branch has been
-               revised. Compare your existing bitbake directory with the latest
-               bitbake branch in the repository. Your existing bitbake branch and
-               its 'last changed revision' number can be found as follows:
-
-               <screen>$ cd $OEBASE/bitbake; svn info</screen>
-
-               If there is a new stable branch, you will want to move or delete
-               your existing bitbake directory and repeat the process listed above
-               under "To obtain bitbake". If there is no new branch, it is easy to
-               update bitbake:
-
-               <screen>$ cd $OEBASE/bitbake; svn update</screen>
