Nothing except overrides for defaults in sys.mk should be there. >Maybe it's time for /etc/make.conf.ports? (No I'm not kidding.) Ports and build options should always have been separate from sys.mk, but there is a problem getting them noticed early enough. /etc/make.conf.ports should logically be included by bsd.port.mk, but may be needed when sys.mk is parsed. This is currently handled by abusing /etc/make.conf to extend sys.mk. Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
