Subject: Why so many steps to build new kernel?
Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

I was wondering if there would be any problems with creating a script
for some of the  steps of building a new kernel. What if any would be
the problem with having a script which does:

config kern1
cd ../../kern1
make depend
make all
make install

If such script was created it should check the return code of the
make command to make sure there were no problems.
