They should match running kernel definitely as we do not support not syncronized kernel/world and installworld populates /usr/include. And why a subset? Don'we support old-style kernel re-build "config; make depend; make" that does not require full /usr/src tree but /usr/src/sys only? _______________________________________________ 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"
