As others have pointed out, /usr/src/sys. There are no other dependencies needed to work with that source. > 6. How do developers usually keep their kernel sources in sync with the > main Central Kernel source? Do we use CVS or Subversion for this? Again, as others have pointed out, cvsup, cvs, and a few others. However, unlike other systems, if you update the kernel sources, you need to update the rest of the system as well. And vice versa. Read the documentation (say /usr/src/UPDATING!!) for more info. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
