Hello, I am new to freeBSD and trying to contribute to freeBSD. I have a small question. Whenever I make a small change in the kernel, say apply a patch which only affects 1 or 2 files and compile the kernel using the command :- make KERNCONF=config_file buildkernel It takes a lot of time (around 1 hour) and starts rebuilding the whole kernel instead of just building the relevant files. I have checked the freeBSD handbook and checked the targets in Makefile , but none of them provide information about this situation. How, can I make sure that only the relevant files are built and not the whole kernel again and again ?
