Is there any particular reason why make clean > in /usr/src does not clean the entire source hierarchy? Probably because someone broke it and nobody noticed. It should indeed be possible to build with a r/o /usr/src just as it should be possible to get back to a /usr/obj containing little more than .depend files and directories if you do a make clean. How true that is at any given time depends on how thorough people have been in their Makefile hacking. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
