Date: Thu, 25 Dec 1997 13:48:43 -0800 Message-ID: <13107.883086523@time.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've been trying to untangle the dependencies between the bin and info distributions in -current for the last day now and I'm basically about to give up - it's a freaking mess in there and I think the only reasonable solution at this point is to kill the info distribution again and merge it back in with the bin distribution. I know it will result in bin dist bloat (that being the whole reason we tried to separate them in the first place) but they're totally intertwined right now and the simple act of turning the info distribution back on for lib/libcom_err has broken the -current release build since the 15th of December. For the last 10 days it's been impossible to build a release of -current for this simple reason. Bah. Anyway, so unless someone else can supply me with a set of diffs which fixes this in a reasonable way (and good luck finding all the spots which switch DISTRIBUTION surrepticiously back to "bin" again in the tree), I'm simply going to smash the info and bin dists back together and write the whole idea off as a bad experiment. I also don't want to hear any "no, don't do this!" comments from anyone who's not willing to make it actually work the way it is now, so if that's all you've in mind to say then kindly don't. :) Jordan
