I think cloning src tree into a subdirectory of /usr/src should be discouraged. Cloning into e.g. /usr/src-git/(branch) and make /usr/src a symlink (or hardlink) to whichever the branch to be built/installed would be better if you want to keep multiple branch. Of course, if you need only one branch (e.g. main) and want to follow existing official example, /usr/src is the only place to clone repo to. > > -- > Herbert > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current_at_freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe_at_freebsd.org" -- Tomoaki AOKI <junchoon_at_dec.sakura.ne.jp>Received on Sat Jan 02 2021 - 12:10:27 UTC
