When you cd /usr/src/bin/sh (or wherever) and do a make, you are not using WORLDTMP like `make world' does, so the behaviour is different anyway. The bug is that `make all' from /usr/src uses the obj tree that `make world' uses. This doesn't affect the release. "Developer convenience" commits have to wait until after 3.0. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
