I just try to "install" -current on one of my PC's. So I install boot, cpio and bin from 950210-SNAP and src-cur at CTM-0432 level. After that I try 'make world' (first time in my life ;-). As a result - some remarks: 1) make world stops in /usr/src/share/doc/papers/memfs with diagnostics: indxbib: fatal error: can't open /usr/share/dict/eign because I don't install dict distribution from SNAP. It seems to me that either /dict/eign must be excluded from separate 'dict' distribution, or someone must teach 'make world' (pre)install eign from src/shar. 2) another place which stops make was somewhere in games (I don't install games distribution either) - I have no exact diagnostics (somthing about absent /usr/games/hide directory). In this case I'd like to have -DNOGAMES option for make a la -DNOCRYPT. 3) make in share/doc produce many warnings and sometimes flood the screen with something resembled TOC. There is a huge area for 'improvements'. 4) and last but not least remark - CTM-supported src-cur has no 'secure' stuff due to wellknown reasons. But we all now can use non-US eBones and secure source distribution from skeleton.micom.csir.co.za. There is stil some need for Makefile support for making 'secure world' in, say, Siberia. Current support in lib (only symlink libcrypt to libscrypt iff there isn't one) can be more strightforward if it'll be conditioned by !NOCRYPT. And Mark Grondar (sp?) already named some other place for more automated (and legal) way for making 'secure world'. Sorry for not proposing fixes - I have no time and knowleges for then now. N.Dudorov P.S. On my 486DX2-66 PCI/ISA with 8 MB RAM and all sources and obj on Quantum Lightning 540S on embedded NCR 53c810 SCSI make world (without profiled libraries) take 8.5 hours - is ihis right ?
