I am not so much opposed to having installs of the files spread out so much, as long as both the old behavior and new behavior BOTH work: cd /usr/src/etc; DESTDIR=/foo/bar make distribution vs what ever it is you have to do today to get a full prestine copy of /etc from base. I support the idea that a module/package should be able to pkg the config files BUTT a "make install" in any of them MUST not smash my etc/ files unless I explicitly enable that some how. I believe that is handled with make conf? I also have a very large desire to see this MFC'ed back to stable/12 so that there are only 12.0 and 12.1 being the odd mans out so support for this intermidiate state can be ended rather quickly. > Thanks, > Kyle Evans -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
