I updated my "old" 4.0-S sources (as of 7 May) at about 11 GMT on 28 May. FWIW, I didn't meet any problems either in the buildworld or in the installworld; also, *every* step of the make world process went smooth. BTW, in the past week[-end] I successfully made the world for 3-STABLE, 4-STABLE and -CURRENT. I may be completely wrong, but three possibilities come to mind at the moment: 1) the necessity to make includes under special circumstances (as suggested by Doug Barton); 2) the opportunity of using the "list=3Dcvs:<suitable_tag>" trick when updating one's sources -- as described in the FAQ found at http://www.polstra.com ; 3) the problems, if any, were soon cleared at source level. Incidentally, I DID a "make includes" to get rid of aic7xxx-related syntax errors -- under -CURRENT. Or perhaps I haven't still been bitten by the "make includes" issue under [34]-STABLE. Could someone more knowledgeable out there shed more light on what may have occurred in your case, please ? :-) Best regards, Salvo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
