Hello,
I am trying to apply a patch set to FreeBSD 5.5 (this letter 'p'
followed by a number, after the version in 'uname -a') - but somehow it
did not work.

The '#N' business after the version number is a counter showing how
many times you've updated your kernel.
For the longest time this counter has never increased for me (it used
to). It now stays at zero, yet I have rebuilt world numerous
times. Must be something in the way I am doing things. Any idea what
would cause it to *not* increase?
Deleting /usr/obj is the usual cause of that.
Ah, yes, that's it. Thank you.
As I said... it used to always increment for me. Then stopped at some
time when I wasn't paying attention to it. It must've stopped after I
added the following to my script (as per 21.4.14.6 of the handbook):
# chflags -R noschg /usr/obj/usr
# rm -rf /usr/obj/usr
# cd /usr/src
# make cleandir
# make cleandir
The handbook says to do the above if things go wrong. I figured I'd be
a little more proactive.
Thanks.
