No is not. Things in /etc/make.conf affect *EVERY* invocation of make. Don't even try to tell me otherwise unless you've supplied a patch that determines if you are w/in the logical equivalent of /usr/src to process the contents of /etc/make.conf. /etc is for the *machine*. If you want something just for /usr/src, then we should have a /usr/src/worldmake.conf > Would something like /etc/ports.conf be acceptable? That way it can be > modified separately from the configuration for the main /usr/src tree, Yes. Not because it separates things from knobs for /usr/src, but because it separates things logically. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
