If it was an absolute requirement then shouldn't the make process do this by default? (and have a flag not to do it for those who really know what they are doing) The handbook notes (refering to rm /usr/obj): "You can speed up the ``make world'' process, and possibly save yourself some dependency headaches by removing this directory as well." But it does not read as an absolute requirement. Should the handbook be changed? And maybe note this requirement in /usr/src/UPDATING? thanks -- tonym To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
