Subject: make world minus unchanged?
Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

Is it possible to recompile the world without touching binaries that are
unchanged since the last make world? I.e., /bin/sh probably has little
reason to change, why recompile it? Also, what affect will cvsup as a
whole have on changes I've incorporated into the source tree? I.e. I want
to modify my su so that an su to root reads class root's new path record
(it's annoying otherwise). Would I have to make a diff patch and apply it
after each cvsup?

Danke sehr in advance,
Nathan
