I totally agree with that; it's just that having 127 _unobviously_ named DEBUG knobs is also totally useless. E.g., for audio/arts, do I need to set 'WITH_KDE_DEBUG=3Dyes' to get debugging symbols? I don't know and I can't quickly look it up. Michael's proposal for 'WITH_<portname>_DEBUG' is ultimately the way to go. --Stijn --=20 An Orb is for life, not just for Christmas. --aZoGpuMECXJckB41 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDd1ejY3r/tLQmfWcRAs7MAJ9/Aj9HX3A8hk8TPE9coxN70z+t6QCeKcAd VcrAJ2r8hXgKBws5KdflGck= =0BmP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --aZoGpuMECXJckB41--
