And, now that sources may be installed by a port, what is the method for _just_ updating the sources? Why do I even need to build and install the port? Personally, I would just rather have the drm-kmod sources just imported into base and maintained there. If I have 2 or more different checked out base src trees, how do I get the correct drm-kmod to go with them if there is only one /usr/local/sys/modules? Do I need multiple port trees just to pull in out of tree module sources? > > In some ways, installing sources for DRM is a compromise for the fact that we > can't have DRM in the base source anymore (for various reasons).

I applaud this effort to provide a source compile mode for DRM, but I think it has come up a bit short on execution with numorious problems sited. I too am not real happy that /usr/local/src is going to get automatically invoked from my some odd 10+ src trees that are of various WIP's. I need a way to easily disable this both on a global scale, and on a per src tree way. Rather than a default to on with an opt out mechanism perhaps while we gain experience change this to a default to off with an opt in mechanism? Sadly I do not have proposed solution, but something better than what is there now needs to be found. Regards, -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
