Erm, building releases of different branches than the build box isn't really supported. If you want a -current release, build it on a -current box. If you want a -stable release, build it on a -stable box. It may work at times that you can build -stable on -current and vice versa, but that is not supported and one does so at their own risk. Releases are bad enough as is w/o having to add in a multitude of hacks so that one can roll a 5.0 release on a 2.2.x box, etc. > Ciao, > Sheldon. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
