Is running a userspace that doesn't match the loaded kernel a supported configuration, defined as "one not likely to bite you in the butt"? Even if someone wants that setup, surely it's inadvisable for someone to build a jail that's running a newer version of the OS then the host environment, isn't it? And wouldn't that be the only reason you'd ever do "make world DESTDIR=/foo" instead of: # make buildworld ... appropriate intermediate steps # make installworld # make installworld DESTDIR=/foo I don't want to be argumentative, so please don't take it that way. I'm genuinely interested in the subject and want to know how other people are maintaining their systems. -- Kirk Strauser
