I'm just curious how the third-party modules are kept around properly
across installkernel/buildkernel. Did you get MAKEOBJDIR/MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
stuff working in the kernel build dir with ports modules? I'm glad we
aren't doing the realpath(3) thing in Make anymore, if so, as I doubt
I'm the only one with one hell of a convoluted setup in that sort of
thing.
And thanks for clearing up that that was binary-only ones, that makes
a bit more sense I suppose, assuming we're handling the module installs
all properly.
Thanx,
juli.
