Whenever I run buildworld, buildkernel, mergemaster, installworld or installkernel I use tee to redirect the output to a log file in case I need to troubleshoot a problem or check what was updated. I also timestamp the beginning of the process by sending the output of 'date' to the top of each logfile.
For some time now, the kernel build process has internally echoed the start time at the beginning of the process. Since I have to think that knowing how long the build process takes is interesting to most people who have to keep machines updated, is it too much to ask that "buildworld" adopt the same practice as "buildkernel" and echo a timestamp at the beginning, so I don't have to do it manually each time in order to track how long the process takes? (stamping the end might also be handy, although by default one can just look at the file timestamp, unless it gets changed for some reason) Thx, Phil -- Philip J.
