Opinions are like arseholes - everybody has one, nobody wants to know about anyone else's. Here's mine FWIW :-). I like the above breakdown, but not all the locations - these files smell like configuration stuff to me; that is /etc fodder. /usr/src/conf.mk - OK. /usr/ports/conf.mk - OK. /usr/share/mk/conf.mk - Buried too deep in the "WTF was that file again??" pile. I reckon that should be in /etc, and called /etc/global.mk M -- Mark Murray Join the anti-SPAM movement: http://www.cauce.org
