I'm pretty sure that this was happening BEFORE this commit went into the tree... I took share/termcap out of the Makefile on: hydrogen,ttypf,~/FreeBSD-checkout/current/src/share,507$ls -l Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 jmg wheel 198 Aug 25 07:33 Makefile and the latest revision of that file was Sat Jul 19 15:17:41 1997... so you need to search earlier than that... not sure how far back this started... it was only a bit before then that I was able to do a buildworld... -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
