Hi, I'm keeping track of -STABLE on semi-regular basis. But when I cvsup to the latest sources and do make buildworld, it always starts to rebuild the world entirely from scratch. That's somewhat frustrating, especially if cvsup showed only a screenful of changes. Is it possible to rebuild these changes only? I know I could cd to the directory of each changed file and do a make install there, but that is of course not quite practical. I suppose this could be automated, since this was exactly the design principle of make: rebuild changed sources only. I know this might brake some dependencies in some cases, but I expect this to be rare. I could still do a "full" buildworld when necessary. Any suggestions? GH
