It greatly speeds the > task. Yes, I have. It doesn't make much of a dent in the real problem, which is separating diffs like: - portmap_enable="YES" # Run the portmapper service (or NO) + portmap_enable="YES" # Run the portmapper service (or NO). from - portmap_enable="NO" # Run the portmapper service (or NO). + portmap_enable="YES" # Run the portmapper service (or NO). from portmap_enable="YES" # Run the portmapper service (or NO). + portmap_flags="" # Flags to portmap (if enabled). ad infinitum. The latest "compromise" is still good enough for me. I just don't want to go back to having to edit the same file that I have to upgrade. -- Christopher Masto Director of Operations NetMonger Communications chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net http://www.netmonger.net "Good tools allow users to do stupid things." -- Clay Shirky To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
