Sort of. The problem is we have added a new user that installworld depends on. Imagine a 4.x to 5.0 upgrade right now. 4.x doesn't have this user IIRC, and you are supposed to run installworld before mergemaster. Sounds like a nice catch 22 to me. :-/ -- John Baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
