Which is better, ^? or ^H ? > What's your point? Greg kludged share/sendmail/Makefile to work around Ruslan's broken implementation in xinstall. Either fix xinstall so options that conflict with -d are ignored (I've already posted a patch, twice), or fix the documentation of make.conf (I've already posted a patch for this, too) and fix the example make.conf under share/example/etc and add an entry to UPDATING. There is also an open problem report bin/37795, which Ruslan knew existed, and he has not closed it (his kludge invalidates the PR). At one time, setting INSTALL to "install -C" in make.conf could be a BIG time saver during a "make world"? One can no longer set INSTALL. -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
