I've read all the remarks people made when Jordan removed $PWD support in rev 1.5. Many people gave examples of where it *COULD* be useful, but I didn't see anybody offer a Real World(tm) example of where it was truely useful. ON the other hand, I can show Real World breakage with bash2 which updates and exports $PWD on every `cd'. Are people go nuts again if this change is made (post 3.0)? My /usr/src -> /FBSD/src and this causes obj/ directories to be made sometimes in /usr/obj/FBSD/src and sometimes in /usr/obj/usr/src depending on where I am in the /usr/src tree when I do ``make obj''. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.ucdavis.edu -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
