# # $FreeBSD: src/Makefile,v 1.319.2.6 2007/03/28 08:46:02 ru Exp $ # # The user-driven targets are: # # universe - *Really* build *everything* (buildworld and # all kernels on all architectures). # buildworld - Rebuild *everything*, including glue to help do # upgrades. # installworld - Install everything built by "buildworld". # world - buildworld + installworld. # buildkernel - Rebuild the kernel and the kernel-modules. # installkernel - Install the kernel and the kernel-modules. # installkernel.debug # reinstallkernel - Reinstall the kernel and the kernel-modules. # reinstallkernel.debug # kernel - buildkernel + installkernel. # update - Convenient way to update your source tree (cvs). # check-old - Print a list of old files/directories in the system. # delete-old - Delete obsolete files and directories interactively. ... so what? Can't find any info about this in /usr/src/UPDATING. Can you? I'm not saying that I can't figure out how to make world again. I just don't agree with the decision to put that stupid message in Makefile. I suppose that a person typing make world as root already knows what she's going to do. -- Pietro Cerutti PGP Public Key: http://gahr.ch/pgp
