 ## TODO (required for the build to work)
 
-1. For the docbuild to work, you must first patch your local system:
-
-   $ sudo ln -sf libpari-gmp-tls.so.2.8.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpari-gmp-tls-2.8.so.0
-
-   We'll need to fix one of libpari-dev, cysignals or sagemath itself, or something.
-
-Then the build (including documentation) should work, but some tests will fail.
-This is probably due to a combination of:
-
-a) mismatched versions of dependencies; we'll need to upload these.
-b) our hacky patches; we will need to revise these.
+No local system changes should be needed at this time for the main and dochtml
+builds to work automatically from a clean check-out.

 ## Current test status
 
+The below is invalid at the moment; we have ~4000 failing tests after migrating
+to Sage 7.4 and PARI 2.9 etc. Hopefully we can reduce this back to the more

 You should get something roughly like the following. If you get different
 results, please add your experience to the below summary.
