Re: [Bsdrp-devel] How to set FreeBSD version

[Harry D. <usr...@gm...>]

Hi

I've been looking in the patches folders, and I see a patch for
freebsd.newvers.patch
That would seem to imply that this patch sets a new freebsd version, is
that correct, will removing this patch and a clean build give me an
unaltered FreeBSD version which will accept binary patches?

Thanks,

Harry.
