It should at least respect __MAKE_CONF, and a fix should possible be written to not assume ANY paths. I have no patch for this at this time, I will however consider writing one if the maintainer likes. He has been CC'd on this PR. >How-To-Repeat: Set __MAKE_CONF to something other than /etc/make.conf and build lang/perl5.8, changes are not written to the proper make.conf >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
