Hello, I don't wish to jump all the way forward to -CURRENT, but would like to bring my 3.3 system up to 4.1 (would like to go beyond 4.0 for kqueue() and fxp PEX support). I would like to do this via cvsup and `make world'. My understanding is that `make world' is just buildworld followed by installworld, each a single monolithic step. Hhmm.. it seems to me that some build stages will not work without some other elements being installed. For example, my current modified 4.1 kernel will not build on a 3.3 system due to the old binutils (2.9.1 vs. 2.10). So how can a `make world' work in a monolithic build then install sequence? How do I specify 4.1 in the release field of my supfile? (The man page isn't too enlightening. Says "The supfile is as described in sup(1)". `man sup` turns up nothing. An additional blurb on the release=releasename keyword talks about traditional sup and recommends using releasename=cvs.) thanks -Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
