I have run the build option survey scripts[1] on stable/8 r210741 and have put the results here: http://phk/misc/build_options_stable_8_210741/ This information is particularly useful if you are trying to shoehorn a NanoBSD image into a small-ish (ie: < 1G by the looks of it) media. But it also provides a audit of our rarely exercised build options, and as usual this run does exposes a handful of options that either do nothing or fail the build. Those options should probably be reviewed[2] Poul-Henning [1] src/tools/tools/build_option_survey It might be worth considering running these scripts on a regular basis for -trunk and the active -stable, but be aware that it takes half a week on a beefy machine. [2] Some of the options depend on each other. The scripts obviously are not able to do the full permutational test, but it would be nice if it were extended with a list of multiplets that should also be tested. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
