* It's a bad idea, and not at all like rc.conf. rc.conf is sourced only at * system startup. /etc/make.conf is sourced on every invocation of make. * Who knows what pollution in it might do to non-FreeBSD makefiles? So you agree with me, right? What I'm saying is we can just use MASTER_SITE_BACKUP and MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE variables already in make.conf, instead of adding new variables which (by bsd.port.mk) function by eventually appending something to the above. (Defining generic names like LOCALE in /etc/make.conf is dangerous....) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
