Since you fully support this, I don't understand what the issue is. People have old configurations that want "sendmail_enable=NO" to equal the above? Too bad, there are many configuration changes to learn when going from -stable to -current. So they will just have to learn there is more granularity now. > This is (and was) always available. sendmail_enable=NONE is just a > shortcut that has the same effect as setting all four to NO. This is non-standard. In fact I would really like us to use the NetBSD way of testing the knobs such that any "negative" setting means no. "NONE" would break with this. Thus my voiced support is "do nothing" (other than maybe remove the NONE support). To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
