It's only in Makefile.upgrade, not `make world'. People only have to do it once, so there is no chance for them to become familiar with what the upgrade is actually doing. I'm happy to remove the confirmations, but I don't want to have to answer a whole lot of complaints from people who say "I had no idea it was going to do _that_!". And I don't want to make the upgrade process any more painful that it already is. Maybe I'll add a NOCONFIRM option. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
