I've attached a patch I'd like to commit to config(8) for the way it
handles get_srcdir. I'm asking for review since it partially reverts
some changes made in revision 1.42 of usr.sbin/config/main.c and I'd
like to make sure there are no issues there.
Right now config(8) calls realpath("../..", ... to find the src path
to write into the kernel Makefile. I want to change this to use $PWD
with the last two path components removed, assuming it's the same dir
as ../.. .
I want to put this in because I often build from an amd(8)-mounted src
tree, and realpath produces a path using amd's special temporary mount
directory /.amd_mnt/... instead of the intended /host_mounts/... type of
path and it times out when accessed that way. Using the logical cwd
means that the generated Makefile references /host_mounts/... and amd
knows the mount is still in use when building.
Comments?
