The new installer just builds the src tarball that way. I asked for the same feature, but it didn't make it into 9. Deleting all the extra bits will work for now. If you are up for it, you can look at patching the release build process and bsdinstall to restore this feature. I'm not sure it would be useful to split out all the top-level src directories as the old installer did, but having one tarball for the equivalent of the old 'sbase' + 'ssys' and a second tarball for the rest of the source tree (so you can do 'none', 'kernel-only' or 'full source') would probably be a useful thing to implement. -- John Baldwin
