Don't forget that the entire intention in putting /usr/src/release up into the tree (it wasn't always there!) was to make it possible that multiple FreeBSD developers could cooperate in the release management. That's the purpose, and it serves this purpose, hmm, at least well enough. :) But your idea should be implementable fairly simple. Stuff the following into each Makefile in the tree where you aren't interested in: .if defined(DON_LEWIS_RELEASE) install: # do nothing .endif ...and pass the environmental variable DON_LEWIS_RELEASE down to the `make distribute'. Since CVS can cope with locally modified trees, you should even be able to cvs update your tree regularly. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
