Oops, forgot one: * No /etc/defaults/make.conf -- has this methodology been changed since RELENG_4? If not, I assume this will be rectified prior to 5.3 going to -RELEASE? Most of us have been going off of 4.x boxes which have /etc/defaults/make.conf, but the tweaks may not be the same between 4.x and 5.x (some deprecated, new additions, changes, etc.). -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977. | On Mon, Sep 27, 2004 at 10:03:21AM -0700, Jeremy Chadwick wrote: > Here's a list of things that still concern me so far with RELENG_5, > particularly with BETA6 (and even more recent than that).
