I'm just curious how the third-party modules are kept around properly across installkernel/buildkernel. Did you get MAKEOBJDIR/MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX stuff working in the kernel build dir with ports modules? I'm glad we aren't doing the realpath(3) thing in Make anymore, if so, as I doubt I'm the only one with one hell of a convoluted setup in that sort of thing. And thanks for clearing up that that was binary-only ones, that makes a bit more sense I suppose, assuming we're handling the module installs all properly. Thanx, juli. -- juli mallett. email: jmallett@freebsd.org; efnet: juli;
