__FreeBSD_version was introduced in the following commit: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/sys/param.h?r1=34924&r2=36260 where it has been ever since: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/sys/param.h?view=log This variable exists to tell the Ports Collection, among others, that "something has changed that may require you to patch and/or recompile." The historical values are documented in https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/versions.html#freebsd-versions-table Your mentor should have shown you this information. mcl _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
