Subject: [9fans] maintaining p9p
Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2011 17:10:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTim4kgUVBziJybonxWosfd7AdTrq9PgPtDVg-K8u@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

seems I really don't understand much presently.

The p9p install(1) says:
----
Once the system is built for the first time, it can be maintained and
rebuilt using mk(1). To rebuild individual commands or libraries, run
mk install and mk clean in the appropriate source directory (see
src(1)).
----

I use hg. So from time to time I do 'hg pull -u'. Now, it seems to be
always safe to run ./INSTALL from the top directory. This, however,
seems to build everything over again, probably unnecessarily. I
thought I'd call sth like 'mk install' from the top directory to build
only new/changed stuff. However there is no mkfile there. How should I
understand the cited?

Thanks!
Ruda
