Fuller" To: hackers@freebsd.org Subject: group assignments from make world. Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'll start by mentioning that this may well belong better on the -STABLE list, but I thought I'd bounce this off y'all first... Just last night I started a make world on 2.2-STABLE (cvsup'd about a half hour before I started; maybe 1am?), and I woke up to find that it had croaked during the install portion. This happened on both ppp and slip; it was set top install them with owner root and group network. Now, my machine doesn't HAVE a group network; I've never seen it; ppp and slip were always root.bin, and I changed the Makefiles in both respective directories to make them group bin. What I want to know is, is this an oversight, bug, or feature? Here's a kinda unrelated thought. Would it be a good idea to put a line in the Makefile for make world to have it automatically script to a file for logging purposes? Prob not, but it's a thought... *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * FreeBSD: turning PCs into workstations * | Windows: turning workstations into typewriters | * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
