Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Wed, 10 May 1995 18:26:39 -0700 From: Craig Anderson Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to track your development process. I got sup to work just fine, but I'd like to know how to sup a different release than "current"; e.g. the last SNAP. Is that available? Also, I noticed that there are a number of odd dependencies in the current makefiles that fiddle with the compiling host; e.g. "rm /usr/sbin/compile_et", referencing include files on the host instead of in the source tree. The reason I've run into these things is trying to "make world" when the source tree is not in /usr/src. Is this expected to work? Ill-advised? Foolhardy? But, then again, I could be missing something fundamental and be hopelessly lost. So I would appreciate any help, pointers, suggestions, descriptions, etc. Thanks for any and all help, Craig Anderson
