A question on developing on vkernel.

[Pratyush Kshirsagar]

Mostly, if you have done some changes and haven't updated the kernel in couple of weeks.Its good to pull the updated source and compile it with you changes.This saves a lot of time later as the building takes lot of time.
The good idea is to read the make file, the comments inside are helpful this is what I first started with during my early dragonfly days :)Feel free to ask questions on the mailing lists....- Pratyush Kshirsagar.

My questions is, do you typically;
1. work on the src code in /usr/src directly and build using
# cd /usr/src
# make -DNO_MODULES buildkernel KERNCONF=VKERNEL
# make -DNO_MODULES installkernel KERNCONF=VKERNEL DESTDIR=/var/vkernel


thats the general idea - although the 'quickkernel' target tends to save
quite a bit of time ..

you can also set variables in /etc/make.conf to save some typing
