This needs extensive testing. The only problem with this is that then world.conf isn't used for one-off test builds. I..e, I do 'cd /usr/src/usr.bin/foo ; make' and world.conf isn't used. I think you should just leave /etc/defaults/make.conf where it is for now and focus on getting ports.conf done and working on the world.conf problem (I don't think doc uses anything in make.conf right now). When those are done, make.conf will be a very small file, and then at that point you can either axe it or move it somewhere else. I would wait to mess with make.conf though until you've finished the other tasks. Don't put the cart before the horse. :) -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
