No - not that bad. The main point is that you shouldn't expect any magic as the CMD646 is on the lower end of PCI IDE chips. Keep in mind that the board is from 1994. > > And make clean is doing all dependencies everytime. > > Sounds kinda superfluous, shouldn't make clean take advantage of some > check so that it is not doing all dependencies every time? Make depends on having filedates either on source, destination or timestamp files. The job of make clean is to remove everything which is not part of the distribution source and therefor you can't create timestamps. Make clean is OK if you want to clean a single port. IMHO make clean only works in /usr/ports because it's part of the standard bsd.subdir.mk macro. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
