that really does make everything a shitload easier, btw. ( for -current too, install a snap, then cvs up with the -D to a time that seems to make sense corresponding to the time of the installed binaries. it's not a 1:1 match, but it probably minimizes chances of fatal discrepancy ). since following that method, i've begun to question whether or not i really did ever have any problems doing make builds. factually, i know that i used to screw little things up all the time, but in essence, all of those have become a distant memory. jared -- [ openbsd 3.7 GENERIC ( may 17 ) // i386 ]
