I know that sounds a bit more hand-holdish than : FreeBSD tends to be, but I think it would be nice. It is desirable, I think, but hard to know for sure if you have a stale world or a current world. No buildworld at all is easy to detect. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
