Hello,

for some time I build metricbeat agent because I have a lot of custom fields. Process is the following:

> make  
> make update  
> make release

Everything was working fine until version 7.9.0. When I try to run make I get following output:

> Use mage rather than make. Here are the available mage targets:  
> Targets:  
> collectAll generates the docs and the fields.  
> .  
> .  
> .

Command _mage build_ pass but I have problem with _mage update_ command:

> Generated fields.yml for metricbeat to /data/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/metricbeat/build/fields/fields.all.yml  
> warn: failed to upgrade pip (ignoring): failed to run "/data/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/build/ve/linux/bin/pip install -U pip: fork/exec /data/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/build/ve/linux/bin/pip: no such file or directory"Error: failed to run "/data/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/build/ve/linux/bin/pip install -U wheel: fork/exec /data/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/build/ve/linux/bin/pip: no such file or directory"

In here I presume that I need to have install pip.

So, could some explain to me what is change in this version and which mage command are equivalent to:

> make  
> make update  
> make release

BR,  
Mladen
