Well, if you say you've gotten all the way from 2.2.6-RELEASE to 3.0-current with absolutely nothing more than a ``make -m /usr/src/share/mk world'' and an updated kernel then I stand most certainly corrected. P.S. Rather than starting a religion, why not simply add an `upgrade' target to /usr/src/Makefile which does the appropriate submake? If nothing else, it would be a convenient hook for times when upgrading requires even more custom hackery than that. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
