[-- Attachment #1 --] Hey all. Maybe a dumb question about building the world. What are the reasons for, caveats, and benefits of building the world with NOPROFILE=true? false? I'm not entirely sure what the default is, because I've not found any definitive statement one way or the other, but /etc/defaults/make.conf has the following: # To avoid building various parts of the base system: . . . #NOPROFILE= true # Avoid compiling profiled libraries Which makes me think the default is false. So why would someone change this? (I do know not to change the /etc/defaults/ version, btw). And thanks to past threads on the "Right Way" to perform the buildworld/installworld/kernel/etc., I am following the handbook closely, and am not relying on dumb luck as I have in the past :).
