The only difference will be, that the "old" configure will be named configure.bak instead of configure.Patched. Unless the REINPLACE_ARGS is set to ``-i ""'' by the port, that is. [1] This is the word used by at least one portmgr member and REINPLACE_CMD (over regular sed(1)) proponent at the time of REINPLACE_CMD introduction and debate. REINPLACE_CMD's ability NOT to leave the .bak (or .orig) files around was one of his points -- advanced with the unpleasantly robust language, I must add. Now, that the -i "" works reliably, can we turn it on? .if defined(USE_REINPLACE) -REINPLACE_ARGS?= -i.bak +REINPLACE_ARGS?= -i "" Yours, -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
