A few days ago, I asked about the --include directive in tar
after things didn't quite work the way the man page seemed to
indicate. One might get the impression that if --include or
--include='*pattern*' was added to a tar command, tar would only
archive what was in the

Compiling a new kernel from source requires /usr/src to be populated, I
understand that.
The buildworld process for sure needs /usr/src. My question is , is
/usr/src also used in the installworld process?
Now I have never had to do this type of system RELEASE upgrade before,
so I just don't
hello,
i am trying to compile xorg and kde 4 but i receive these 2 errors.
i have updated the ports.
The errors are all coming from a failure to install the dependency

because unqualified use of 'unzip' in the install target seems to be

Just to clarify some of the earlier comments, the ports knobs that can
be used to define certain build options are automatically persistent
only if the knobs are defined as part of the OPTIONS framework, and if
you don't subsequently delete the /var/db/port/*/options files, either
directly or via

I am have a fresh install of FreeBSD 8.0 i386 and need to install an amd64
kernel.
I have copied /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC to
/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/JERRY
Support for cross-building is limited in the FreeBSD base system.
/usr/src/Makefile states:

is there any difference between the port and kernel options

Yes. The kernel options provide kernel compatibility and the ports
provide userland compatibility. You need both to run older
Hi,
On my FreeBSD box running 8.0-RELEASE-p3, I have tried to use PORTMASTER tool
to upgrade my ports via packages only.
Then I added the following line to my user's .cshrc file and root's .cshrc
file, and re-opened user's session :
