Hi, I've often found a need to have a user specific make.conf in which I can store various variables. A patch to /usr/share/mk/sys.mk makes ~/make.conf be evaluated last which I find very useful especially when installing ports under users home directories, the patch is a tiny three liner, if tested it on my home system. Because its evaluted last it can override the others, which I imagine could be a security hole or perhaps undesireable for root? In which case it should be evaluted second and leave /etc/make.conf for last. Any opinions? Perhaps this mailing list is not the ideal forum for this discussion, however I couldn't think of a list that would be better. If you can reccomend one ...
