It was pointed out to me that there are some strange-looking lines in /usr/src/Makefile: ===== # These are last, since it is nice to at least get the base system # rebuilt before you do them. .if defined(MAKE_LOCAL) & exists(local) & exists(local/Makefile) SUBDIR+= local .endif .if defined(MAKE_PORTS) & exists(ports) & exists(ports/Makefile) SUBDIR+= ports .endif ===== What are these? I am not aware of /usr/src/local or /usr/src/ports ever existing on our system. The ports stuff should be in /usr/ports, and has never been intended to be built as part of "make world". The "local" stuff are, well, up to the site administrator, but /usr/local is typically populated by third-party software (including many from the ports tree), so I don't know why it's here either. Will the world be obliterated in a violent volcanic eruption if I delete these lines? Satoshi
