--envbJBWh7q8WU6mo Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi I am following 9 Stable. I have read the handbook information and I am now = subscribed to this list and the svn-src-stable-9@ list. Even after reading the handbook, what i'm not clear about is this: I see individual commits being submitted to the source tree; do I: - patch and update each individual commit, or; - rebuild world say once every couple of days or even each day to incorpor= ate the changes, and; - does the kernel need to be rebuilt and reinstalled each time if using th= e first option. Obviously I would have to if rebuilding world (the second o= ption). Am I right in thinking that it also depends on the type of change; i.e. if = the change is to a kernel and/or a kernel module then clearly I need to reb= uild the kernel. But, then would I need to rebuild the userland as well? I hope I am making sense and not asking dumb questions, I just want to be c= lear about the process.=20 Essentially, I want to know if it's necessary to rebuild the entire userlan= d and kernel sources just to incorporate a small number of changes. Obvious= ly that's a lot of time compiling. Or, do I just patch the commited files a= nd rebuild that bit of the sourse tree and the kernel if necessary due to t= he type of change made.=20 I've not followed a FreeBSD stable branch before so just wanted to clarify = those points. I'd like to be involved with testing things for the project, = etc.=20 Best wishes,=20 Jamie. --envbJBWh7q8WU6mo Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature Content-Disposition: attachment;
