For one thing, it'd be kinda subject to cvs[up] updates, which can totally screw up whatever you have in there. And then there are those of us who avoid any 'non-clean src/' problems by newfs'ing /usr/src and /usr/obj between builds and doing a fresh cvs co. I'd think we could probably come up with some sort of solution that would avoid those little gotchas... -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fullermd@futuresouth.com Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
