re: updating a piece of the running system from build.sh is too hard

[matthew green <mrg%eterna.com.au@localhost>]

to update something on an installed system like this i tend to
build with the native tools, not build.sh ones.  eg:

$ cd /usr/src/usr.bin/passwd
$ env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX='/var/obj/${MACHINE}' make obj
$ env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX='/var/obj/${MACHINE}' make dependall
$ priv env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX='/var/obj/${MACHINE}' make install

i'm not sure what is recommended, but this works for me.


.mrg.

ps. priv is similar to sudo
