In message <199812050209.SAA01724@dingo.cdrom.com> Mike Smith writes: : 'make depend' should be *mandatory*, as the alternative involves : duplicating dependancy information in the source and in the : configuration infrastructure. If it is mandatory, then config should do it. However, it is still and ugly kludge. Make depend should not be mandatory. I'm sorry, but that is just bogus. Make depend is never mandatory on any hunk of software that I've ever used. It is nice to do, but I've never seen any software where make depend is the only way to generate files. There are much better ways around this than the ulgy kludge of making it be mandatory. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
