And a bit of variety is a Good Thing. :-) In my case, I own /usr/src, but do the builds as root (via "sudo"). The owner for ports is the user I set up to maintain my repository mirrors; I update installed ports (or install/delete ports) as root. > But I don't rebuild the driver until the kldload fails at boot time.=20 > I'd guess that > 90% of kernel changes do not impact the driver's > functionality. Probably, though that number is likely higher in head than in one of the stable/* branches. And the driver itself gets an update on occasion. > --=20 > Gary Jennejohn Peace, david --=20 David H.
