I have local /usr/src and /usr/obj on build machines (build over NFS is broken, at least it used to be many times...). I do make buildworld on build box(es), then NFS-mount it to machines I want to upgrade, and do make installworld there. Note that it is very well possible to have your build boxes run different version from machines you want to upgrade, all the time. Now that we have a great new Makefile, it's possible... -- I remember seeing a sign on a power station that was trilingual: English, French, and American. It said "No Admission. Pas D'admission. Keep Out". To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
