However, I do use tcsh for shell operations and sh for scripting. I can see the merit of not building BIND as you said. I checked the ports, and these programs also exists in ports, I guess I can always build and install from port after a fresh port cvsup if I need to later on. Thanks. >On Sun, Jul 13, 2003 at 02:52:41AM -0700, Lin Jianfong wrote: > > I'm wondering about this group of options : > > > > # To avoid building various parts of the base system: > > #NO_CVS= true # do not build CVS > > #NO_BIND= true # do not build BIND > > ... > > #NOSHARE= true # do not go into the share subdir > > #NOUUCP= true # do not build uucp related programs > > > > Aren't some of the parts of the base system supposed to be upgraded >along, > > such as tcsh, bind, cvs, lpr, etc or are they not really part of the >base > > system ?
