In-Reply-To: <9710151540.AA14230@bragg> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Howdy, What I've been doing to preserve local hacks (there's tons of suid stuff that I just don't want/need) is to copy say /usr/src/usr.sbin/Makefile to /usr/src/usr.sbin/makefile. Make reads the lower case "makefile" first, and you can delete all the subdirs you don't want to work with in there. A CVSup will not clobber "your" makefile, you just have to watch very closely for any changes to either the makefiles or the things that you've removed... And if there's a better, cooler way of doing this, I'd be happy to hear it!
