I was actually planning on using someone else's religion rather than starting my own. I don't need/want to go on TV. 8-) I think it is time to split /usr/src/Makefile so that the bits that depend on the included mk files are in a makefile that is only accessed by a make with -m and -f args. This probably will offend Bruce though. I might have to use _his_ religion. I wonder if he has one? 8-) -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
