Brad,
I had the same thing some time ago. Any time I update my boxen, I
always rm -rf /usr/obj/* afterward. My problem with the ports Mk stuff
was not in relation to doing that as it has been some time since I
last updated my source. To resolve the problem with ports, i just rm'd
all the stuff under /usr/ports and just did another cvsup on the ports
collection. Problem solved. I've also done this in the past with my
/usr/src directory without any problems. Cvsup is your friend.
-Otter

}
}
}Folks,
}
} It was my impression that /usr/obj was only used during the
}process of doing a make update, make buildworld, etc... and that you
}could safely toast it afterwards if you should happen to temporarily
}need more space since it would be toasted anyway by the next build.
}
} Is this not correct? Well, I toasted it, and now I
}have a very
}strange /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk that seems to be truncated at line
}2373, and /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk appears to be an unreadable
}binary file (strings just shows garbage).
}
}
} Any suggestions as to what I can do to recover?
}
}
} Thanks!
