obrien> A while back I moved the install location for chown and chgrp obrien> from /usr/sbin and /usr/bin to /sbin and /bin. This was obrien> because of MAKEDEV(8)'s dependence on them, and thus forced obrien> /usr to be mounted for correct operation of MAKEDEV(8). But MAKEDEV(8) still depends on mknod(8), so this change would be a "make release" breaker. In older environment, mknod(8) does not understand the new command-line syntax; it would be impossible to build today's -current in -stable or whatever version of -current before this change. Yes, it's easy to fix by "cd /usr/src/sbin/mknod; make; make install" before doing a release engineering, but it is too tricky, isn't it ? -- - Makoto `MAR' MATSUSHITA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
