Most users would not care about building stable/9 on a stable/10 host. There are only a few people care about being able to do that. People who use poudriere to build a jail to build ports would care. People who are building products base on stable/9, but need to use a stable/10 (or newer) host would care, but that number of people is small. > >>I'm trying to build a FreeBSD stable/9 jail on a FreeBSD 10/stable host, so th >>at >>I can build ports inside the jail with poudriere. > > Why not use fmake in that scenario? That might work. Is using the devel/fmake port sufficient for using fmake? If I typed "make something", is there a way inside the make environment to detect if bmake or fmake was invoked, and error out appropriately? -- Craig
