Now that I get more comfortable with this, I want it to organize it and put it as cron job. I have 3 machine running freebie, and before I used to have source tree for each machine. Seeing this as waste of space and cpu power, I decided to have one machine to hold all sources and other two machine to NFS mount on it. (the /usr/src directory). On source server machine, I got updates with cvsup, made world, and rebuilt kernel successfully. On client machine, I moved /usr/src to /usr/src_og and created link to server's /usr/src mount point. On Complete FreeBSD 3rd edition, it says "make reinstall" is available for this purpose. I was not able to make reinstall, and looking at Makefile tells me that reinstall is gone. So, I tried "make install" and it was throwing errors -- can't fine certain files. Then I just tried "make world" and it worked. My question is, is there way to avoid "make world" again? I already built the world, so I don't see why I have to build it again on client machine. Am I missing something here? I mounted /usr/obj directory to server's /usr/obj directory just in case, but no differences. Please enlighten me on this and CC to my email address. Thank you.
