I would find that ... surprising. (I have tended to rebuild FreeBSD head & stable (head - 1, usually; lately, also head - 2) daily on at least a couple of machines for the past several years, one of which is the laptop I use for day-to-day "stuff" -- so I do have "some experience" using "make buildworld" & friends.) > More fundamentally, is it OK to start buildworld immediately after > a git pull finishes interactive output and returns a shell prompt? I generally do that, yes. And I am unaware of any problems the practice may have caused. That said, there was an occasion when a "git fetch" from one of the mirrors choked & died; since then, I have taken to running a weekly process via cron that does a "git maintenance run" followed by a "git gc" in each of my git repositories. No issues since starting that. Peace, david -- David H. Wolfskill david@catwhisker.org See https://www.catwhisker.org/~david/publickey.gpg for my public key.
