If * not for the revision, at least for the date. Which .mk files? Note that it's not bsd.port.mk's version we need -- we already have that. We need something on the system to compare against. * Well, certainly, it's not always feasible, but I never understood this * one in particular. It always seemed like a PERFECT candidate for an * OSVERSION (or whatever) bump; certainly the 3.1+ only, since pre-3.1 * didn't have the -A (3.1 didn't either, but that would cut out all the * complaints from pre-3.1'ers). That only works if the user recompiled the kernel, since that's where we're getting it from. (Or we can get it from but bsd.port.mk is not a compiler.) -W To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
