Hi,
I'm fairly new to the world of upgrading, but (I think) I have
noticed something odd (though, I'm not sure if it's significant).
On a handful of occasions, I've followed the handbook to upgrade
to STABLE, even to the later point (after 'make installworld'
and 'mergemaster') of
cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall
make all install
but have noticed that the contents of /stand is not what I
expected: all files hard linked to the same binary:
# cd /stand/
# ls -laF
total 61346

So, which is wrong:
- the handbook instructions
- sysinstall's Makefile(?): the way it installs the target
- my expectation that all files are hard-linked
- something else :-)
?
This may be something to do with my /etc/make.conf having had
INSTALL=install -C
previously, or (for this build)
COPY=-C
in it.
