I have done that. There are three places in /usr/src/release/Makefile where cvs is used to get the tree in the will-be-chrooted dir. You can add a simple .if defined(NOCVS) or something and copy the tree from the sources instead of invoking cvs. This works but it's buggy: you can have log files from makes in the src dir (you should delete them manualy) or you can have work dirs in the ports collection. Also, you might not need the distfiles/ and packages/ dir from the ports :). Will it be useful if I send PR or something with a patch? Should I use tar -cf - | tar xf - instead of cp -R? (tar has nice --exclude pattern switch for not copying distfiles/ and packages/ and even work dirs..). -- Players win and Winners play Have a lucky day [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.1i iQCVAwUBOr8HbPD9M5lef5W3AQGCFwQAsKy+FoXiTThRP9GYGGwN+IP6qiow/er9 IaEwgDBpvyy+kx3MSPRkS3YKT4mb0gMflt3vx7z2oOQh8CJpvcY2Zja0PtMWKumb ib3NgNT8aZ1qZtD/irgwqa9CKqg6FogRaM3A/Jtk2IrfMdsZojZR7AcE8vUNjGRk QtNSdDon8Ts= =i+bl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
