That would be a big 'no', right there. Ports should never update kernel headers. If not for any other reason, because "which kernel?". I regularly keep 2-3 different source trees of the kernel around, and build them from non-standard locations. Having to remember to run ipfilter_hack.sh on each of them before doing a successful build and ending up with kernel sources which are always 'unclean svn checkouts' would suck -- and I suspect I'm not the only one doing builds of kernels outside of /usr/src. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
