After studying FAQ 5.3, I am contemplating mounting /usr/src and /usr/xenocara read-only through NFS so I can maintain a centralized tree for multiple platforms. Is this possible? Are all writes made to /usr/obj and /usr/xobj? That is the intent. From time to time, mistakes sneak in. If you find them, work with us to get them resolved.

You can mount an mfs or a tmpfs there to solve that Den 21 feb 2014 21:00 skrev Fred Snurd fredsn...@yahoo.com: On Friday, February 21, 2014 11:14 AM, Theo de Raadt dera...@cvs.openbsd.org wrote: After studying FAQ 5.3, I am contemplating mounting /usr/src and /usr/xenocara read-only through NFS so I can maintain a centralized tree for multiple platforms.

Is this possible? The last time I tried to mount the source trees read-only, it worked for /usr/src but there were writes to /usr/xenocara. -- Christian naddy Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de

Am I correct in thinking this directory should be mounted read/write? kernels don't have to be built there. From anywhere you like: config -b kobj -s /sys /sys/arch/arch/conf/GENERIC cd kobj make The only thing that won't work is make release, which I don't think is configurable enough. Maybe it is, dunno.
