Try doing a "make release" without disabling documentation. 8-). You end up with 32 ports having to be installed (at last count). The correct way to do this is to copy the ports distribution files into your local system, so that they get copied into the build environment, instead of being downloaded, built, and installed each time. It's also impossible to recreate historical releases, since the old versions of the code are not archived anywhere, so it's not possible to build, for instance, a 4.1-RELEASE from sources, unless you happened to save of the necessary distribution files. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
