I didn't express myself well enough I guess. What I'm after is inclusion of the svnversion(1) information to a binary that gets always built and installed as part of 'make buildworld/installworld' regardless of src.conf(5) settings so that it would be possible to identify the SVN version where the currently installed world comes from. Now that I think loader(8) is not a good candidate for that because of WITHOUT_BOOT. I was hoping that freebsd-version would be such binary but since it's only a shell script that extracts the information from various binaries it won't work unless those other binaries have that information included in them. -Kimmo _______________________________________________ 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"
