The only discussion I see is how to cut it up. Speaking only for myself, there seem to be 3 groups, with some overlap. Group One sees the whole idea of a make.conf.local that includes the same options as make.conf as evil. Group Two sees the current make.conf as evil in general, and would like to split it up, eliminate it, and/or take it out and have it shot. Group Three sympathizes with the idea of making local changes easier to merge, but would like to develop different/better tools to make that happen. As is common, very little of this has to do with the original suggestion. :) Hope this helps, Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** When you don't know where you're going, every road will take you there. - Yiddish Proverb
