Not currently, but that can be arranged. (Just build a release with your favorite options set.) Of course, you lose the benefit of being able to piggyback someone else's effort that way, but them's the breaks. Each installation `dist' has its own mtree file. Where this really helps is in figuring out what your starting point is: 99% of all FreeBSD installations were created from released installation media at some point in the murky past. So, if you're updating a 4.7 system to -current, you can easily identify which of the files you have *came with* that installation, and follow the removal of files through 4.8, 5.0, and soon 5.1. We release often enough that this is sufficient for most people's purposes. -GAWollmanReceived on Tue May 06 2003 - 17:59:42 UTC
