You can buildkernel with no world if and only if the sources and installed world match and you are not cross building. You might be lucky if they are not too different. You can buildkernel with just bootstrap if you are not cross building. You will need to buildworld sooner or later if sources don't match the world so you might as well do it now. You need to buildworld if you are cross building. ISTM that it would be nice to identify the first case and make buildkernel depend on a built world otherwise. I'm not sure the first is automatically identifiable though. -- C:>WIN | Directable Mirrors The computer obeys and wins. |A Better Way To Focus The Sun You lose and Bill collects. | licenses available - see: | http://www.sohara.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
