Actually, I wrote some changes to the way 'installkernel' works in -stable which makes it MUCH less likely to run into trouble on a softupdates partition (among other improvements). The thing is, it would make a lot of sense to have those same changes in -current, and I haven't had the time to try rewriting them. (I did compare the relevant makefiles in -stable and -current, and they are different enough that I'd have to think about how to change it...) Let me stumble thru to the end of the semester here, and then I should have some time to revisit those changes. At that point I'll try to get something together for the makefiles in both branches. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
