Building parts of world not the whole system

A

Absolon

Hello,

I have a minimal system for my firewall and I do regulary cvsup to get the source up to date. My problem is that if I do a buildworld/installworld it builds a lot that I don't really need (or want) on the system. How can I avoid stuff being built after I do a cvsup (Stable)? I tried to find some page for it but I can't find any parameters to pass to make to not build parts of the systems.

Help please? :)

Best regards,
Paul
 
If you know which part of the buildworld you want to re-install, sometimes one can make depend && make && make install ... which I first learned to do doing patches. Many places within the source tree, however, one must move up a directory or two for the commands to complete. (Disclaimer... I only have done it "per instructions"; except the time it worked *eventually* to complete a hosed v6 > v9 thumbdrive installworld... )
 
I haven't dug deep into the update code, but I don't need a lot of stuff, like sendmail, ftp etc. I made a mistake and I think I have to redo my box since it installed way too much stuff and there is no "uninstall" when it comes to the stuff in world, is there?
