There would never be a src/make.conf in the repository, perhaps a src/make.conf.defaults, but never src/make.conf. My pet peeve is that /etc/make.conf is global and affects all src trees on systems, but src trees may have quite different needs. IIRC bde shares this view. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
