To: Joerg Wunsch Cc: freebsd-current@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk This problem is evidently causing much trouble for many people who use cvsup to be current, so its current afterall. That's why I suggested to Dough White in the past few days that the config kernel should have a technique to check for discrapencies between the version of config and the system being rebuilt, and gives a stub message telling the user to make world first, this also includes rebuilding new config, before attempting to compile a new kernel, but he just LAUGHED in my face for that suggestion, I still remember not so far ago reading; This Program Requires Microsoft Windows. come on guys, make the users feel the power of the system from the first touch.
