Anyone want to count all occurrances of '/usr/X11R6' > in the -current + ports trees?? Again, the suggestion is to only move _ports_ to /usr/local/X11R6, _not_ the whole X! (and 99% of those occurances you're talking about are for including/linking with standart X headers/libs). And not all the ports, but only (for now) non-imake ones. And do it as a non-default /etc/make.conf flag. As for your question - there're lots, and just about all of them are evil anyway (except perhaps for /usr/share/mk files and sysinstall code ;)). -- Anatoly Vorobey, mellon@pobox.com http://pobox.com/~mellon/ "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly" - G.K.Chesterton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
