The instructions for tracking a development branch cover the use case you want: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/current-stable.html What you were looking at is used for building a kernel from a source tree that is already in sync with the installed kernel/world. e.g, enabling PF/ALTQ. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
