Fournier" To: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org, freebsd-current@freebsd.org Subject: Question (or complaint) about sup Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi... Someone just told me about what sup is all about, and how to use it, and whatnot...but it seems that some parts rely on other parts, some of which I'd rather not make use of... I know, kinda vague. For example, /usr/src/lib/libncurses is 1.8.6...from 1994. I'm on the ncurses mailing list, and the ncurses I have on the system right now is 1.9.8 (1.9.7a + a bunch of patches). I dont' want to do a 'make world' and have my ncurses replaced... ...similar with sendmail and any other software that I've already got newer versions of installed... I don't assume that make world is smart enough to know the difference in version numbers, or anything like that, so assume that it will wipe out all I've brought over in favor of what it thinks is the "new stuff"?
