Peter removed support for this a while ago. The easiest way to get around problems now is to edit sys/conf/files* and add a nowerror for each affected file. I think the idea is to force developers to test changes, so that they hit the errors before the tinderboxes and the rest of the developer base. In practice this doesn't stop the determined troublemakers. :) Best regards, Mike Barcroft To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
