Too draconian? : Not draconian enough? :-) /etc/current-pwd. You have to get the password from -current monthly and place it in /etc/current-pwd in order to build the system. If your password is too old, it won't build. Experienced users can hack this out fairly easily, and we'd not ship it by default. Minor hacking to the makefile would be all that is needed. The other option is to have a current-urgent or current-build that dealt only with issues having to do with builds. When a problem came up, someone would cc current-build with that problem AND solution. People could then make these into FAQ like entries and when the same thing comes up again, pointers could be posted. Comments? Warner
