Chap 35. Updating an existing system from sources (xorg?)

Hello,

I have cvs updated src and xsrc source code in my RaspberryPi 4
tracking 10-stable. I have compiled the kernel and the userland
following chapter35 guidelines. Everything is working fine, the sets
were created and installed successfuly. Just for curiosity, I checked
this:

netbsd-raspa4$ ls -l /etc/mtree/set*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  121526 Oct 27 21:12 /etc/mtree/set.base
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   22765 Oct 27 21:12 /etc/mtree/set.comp
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  444289 Mar 28  2024 /etc/mtree/set.debug
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     723 Oct 27 21:12 /etc/mtree/set.dtb
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   55580 Oct 27 21:12 /etc/mtree/set.etc
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    3065 Oct 27 21:12 /etc/mtree/set.games
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    9337 Oct 27 21:12 /etc/mtree/set.gpufw
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   13249 Oct 27 21:12 /etc/mtree/set.man
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   10116 Oct 27 21:12 /etc/mtree/set.misc
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     439 Oct 27 21:12 /etc/mtree/set.modules
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     656 Oct 27 21:12 /etc/mtree/set.rescue
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   47795 Oct 27 21:12 /etc/mtree/set.tests
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    3786 Oct 27 21:12 /etc/mtree/set.text
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  214881 Mar 28  2024 /etc/mtree/set.xbase
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  675770 Mar 28  2024 /etc/mtree/set.xcomp
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   43073 Mar 28  2024 /etc/mtree/set.xdebug
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   12645 Mar 28  2024 /etc/mtree/set.xetc
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  784049 Mar 28  2024 /etc/mtree/set.xfont
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   16073 Mar 28  2024 /etc/mtree/set.xserver
netbsd-raspa4$

and I inmediately saw that there were sets with older dates. I believe
that Xorg was not compiled neither installed. There are not
instructions to do that in this chapter, only in this chapter xorg
compilation is mentioned:

33. Crosscompiling NetBSD with build.sh
33.6. Building the X Window System

I guess it can be done with this command but not sure:

./build.sh -x -j4 -O ../obj -T ../tools distribution

is it the right way? How can I compile Xorg avoiding the compilation
of the ready installed base system? Compiling base system distribution
takes about 7 hours on the rpi4. Just to save time.

I think that it would be a good thing for the novice (like me) to give
xorg compiling hints in this chapter.

Thanks so much.
Ramiro.
