We have a set of hacks that make kernel of FreeBSD buildable. The problem is that these are only applied in the Debian package. We could move this know-how into a Makefile and include that into /usr/src, but TBH I don't think it's worth it. People who want to rebuild kFreeBSD on Debian/GNU world could just apt-get source -b kfreebsd-8 instead. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
