Make release is a very poor example b/c make release goes to great efforts to create a clean-room environment for a release. make rerelease is quite helpful though and does do what you want to restart a previous release. :) Also, make buildworld -DNOCLEAN isn't too shabby, though if I could do make TARGET_ARCH=alpha everything I would prefer that. -- John Baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
