So if a bootstrap tool cannot be build - what's the solution? The problem is way beyond building HEAD on 6 as we just found out here -- you can no longer update a 6.2-STABLE to 7-STABLE either without going through a latest 6-STABLE or building WITHOUT_CDDL and then rebuilding on 7. Either way its two builds. If I am not mistaken not even 6.3-RELEASE could be source updated to 7-STABLE. And 6.3-RELEASE is the only supported RELENG_6 release at the moment. This is from one STABLE branch to the next STABLE branch. I think this is unacceptable, no matter what and how. -- Bjoern A. Zeeb Stop bit received. Insert coin for new game.
