What if I want to use /etc/release.conf for clean release builds and /etc/currentworld.conf for current, etc.? If it's a tweakable variable name in /etc/make.conf (or overridable on the command line to make buildworld of course) then the ../Makefile.inc hack will allow me to stick this file anywhere with any name, rather than forcing it to be in the path of the source tree. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
