sjg added a comment to D51443: release/Makefile should not use the host /usr/bin/install command, but the freshly built one.

To make this work in cheribuild I passed INSTALL="sh /path/to/src/tools/install.sh". Doing something automatically here that works would be good, though I'd want confirmation from someone like @sjg that ${.OBJDIR}/.. is definitely going to always be world's ${OBJTOP}.

That's a good catch, and not sure if we also want to remove the repo data in the cache and unregister the pkg itself like what we do in VM. Having those might cause an issue when pkg is boostraped but repo data is seriously out-of-date. We encountered this in the past in the cloud images.

The table in urtw looked ever so slightly off, turns out the syntax was completely wrong (e.g. mdoc(7) says mdoc files should never have a tab for any reason, but the linter didn't see that.
Also, every network device driver manual afaik uses driver in the title, except a few, so fix those.
