As I already noted in this thread IMHO it will be useful to introduce variable which defining should force "automagical translation". Default behaviour just will cause build failure. In this case we can leave this variable uncommented (defined) for -STABLE and commented (undefined) for -CURRENT. It also can be useful to put this check to separate file (for example bsd.deprecated.mk) in /usr/share/mk and include to all /usr/share/mk/*mk file which contains any references to NO* variables. It will allow us to check depracated variables usage in any src's Makefile. PS: Anyone working in this area ? I don't want to duplicate efforts since I don't have to much spare time, but currently I can dig in this problem. -- /* Alexey Zelkin && phantom@cris.net */ /* Tavric National University && phantom@FreeBSD.org */ /* Sysadmin/Developer && phantom@sms.umc.com.ua */ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
