Now we only need a warning at the start of make world: *** /usr/src/Makefile.inc0.orig Sun Oct 18 14:03:03 1998 --- /usr/src/Makefile.inc0 Mon Dec 14 23:14:51 1998 *************** *** 57,62 **** --- 57,67 ---- # an i386/elf system, build the aout legacy cruft too. # world: + @echo "******************************************" + @echo "* Before proceeding, read file UPGRADING *" + @echo "* for important information! *" + @echo "******************************************" + @echo @echo "--------------------------------------------------------------" @echo ">>> ${OBJFORMAT} make world started on `LC_TIME=C date`" @echo "--------------------------------------------------------------" I'm sure someone who is a native english speaker will come up with a better version of the above warning, but you get the idea... It just has to be something that everybody notices, as soon as they do a make world. Another question is, what to include in the UPGRADING file. In another thread, somebody noticed that make world breaks if you have "." in your path. Would this be a candidate for inclusion in UPGRADING?
