No reference to it at all in src.conf(5). It would be nice to see it there. It is mentioned in build(7), but only as a MAKE option and a lot of people are not going to realize it can be placed in src.conf. Also, for those not fairly conversant in make, it is not clear whether multiple ports should be space, comma, colon, or otherwise delimited This is a very nice option as it is very easy to overlook rebuilding kernel modules in ports when building the kernel. Thanks or working on it. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: kob6558@gmail.com
