For example I am NOT going to build TCL as I have it installed from the ports collection. So I will always have NOTCL= true no matter what. So we can make rules for people who want to participate in a real scientific experiment but for most people all we can ask for is full disclosure. i.e. people must quote the following: 1) Their /etc/make.conf settings... e.g. I use: CFLAGS= -O -pipe NOTCL= true (But dont bother quoting your MASTER_SITE_OVERIDE settings) 2) The location of /usr/src, /usr/obj and /var/tmp e.g.: /usr/src is on an IBM 305 MB blah blah SCSI-II disk so is /usr/obj (different disk) /var/tmp is in the /var filesystem on my Maxtor EIDE SCSI controller is an ASUS PC-2000 SCSI-II (ncr chipset) 3) The mounting options used on each of the above filesystems e.g: I am using softupdates for all filesystems mentioned. I am not using any other options such as noatime or async. 4) The build sources. e.g. quote the CTM-src-cur delta number OR the date that you last cvs or cvsuped and INCLUDE THE TIMEZONE! Jordan K.
