2001-04-15 Thread David E. Cross

OpenBSD interesting commits

2001-04-15 Thread Kris Kennaway
I've put a mailbox containing some of the 'interesting commits' I've flagged from the OpenBSD CVS commit mailing list at http://www.freebsd.org/~kris/openbsd.mbox There are some easy commits there, but I don't have time to do much myself (it's enough work just reading the commit lists).

Idea about modules build

I have idea about modules build/install process: May be it need to create some makefile variable like KERNEL_MODULES, that can be defined in /etc/make.conf to limit list of modules to build/install, it is not very good idea to spend a lot of CPU time building modules, that never be used ? --
