Is this a problem or not? I have had a few strange errors with my latest cvsup and make buildworld. I went browsing the tree in /usr/obj and found this: ---------------------------------------------------------------- root carrot:/usr/local/etc/cvsup# ls -al /usr/obj/usr/src/i386 total 3 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Nov 16 16:33 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Nov 16 16:33 .. lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12 Nov 16 16:33 sys -> /usr/src/sys drwxr-xr-x 11 root wheel 512 Nov 16 16:33 usr ---------------------------------------------------------------- Is this correct? I thought the /usr/obj tree was supposed to be an independent temporary workspace in which the world is built before being installed. But this symlink makes me worry that some updates might pollute the live tree during building? Thanks, Patrick.
