I normally do this, FWIW: 1) make buildworld 2) make installworld 3) config FOO 4) compile kernel FOO 5) install kernel FOO 6) update /etc 7) reboot 1-5 are all in 2 scripts, and part of 6) is in a script. > Here lately, I have been trying to break this cycle and use the > > 1) make buildworld > > 2) make buildkernel > > 3) make installkernel > > 4) make installworld > > 5) reboot This should work, except that buildkernel has a few problems: 1) It (ab)uses the KERNEL make variable so that it now has 2 conflicting meanings. Simply using KERNCONF for the buildkernel case instead can fix this, however. 2) It hides the output from config(8). config(8) prints out all sorts of useful warnings when options are deprecated, etc., but buildkernel hides these from the user. The problem is that config(8) is by design an interactive tool, which buildkernel fails to take into account. The hack now is to have config(8) treat warnings as errors instead. :-/ -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
