They used to be `known' or were we just > fooling ourselves?? Is this documented anywhere? Note the use of quotes around `known', indicating that this is a special form. No, they're not deprecated. They have never been `known' as seen from config(8) - they aren't in src/sys/conf/options or src/sys/i386/conf/options.i386, so config(8) don't know about them. In -current, all options in GENERIC and LINT has been added to the options files (with a lot of related work). For that case, the above warning message makes sense there - all options _should_ be known to the config system. The behaviour of config in -current has also been changed - it no longer delete the compile directory. Thus when the warning come, you are not guaranteed a correct build. Eivind.
