I'll change the test for 3.0-CURRENT to 3.0-BETA. I chose to make the test fail for all but installed systems that report the same as what the current sources build to be conservative. I made no attempt to deal with installed versions of 3.0-CURRENT that haven't been updated for 6 months (for example) - those people who install current and don't follow current are on their own. The theory behind doing a complete aout build first is to deal with a system that is in an unknown state. This is over-kill, I'll agree, but it deals with systems that have been hacked into a state that I can't test for. The aout WORLDTMP is used instead of the installed tools to build the elf world - that gives it the best chance of success. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
