Hi folks, I'm becoming increasingly annoyed by the number of ports in the tree that ignore local CFLAGS for no good reason. I can accept that there are ports which need to add to CFLAGS. I can even accept that some ports may need to completely replace CFLAGS with their own values. However, I propose that commiters should refuse to commit submitted ports that don't honour local CFLAGS without good reason. Instead, they should send submitters e-mail saying "either fix your port to honour local CFLAGS or justify the current behaviour". Obviously, existing ports that are "broken" in this respect should be fixed through PR's submitted by people like me whom they annoy. This proposal will simply ensure that the number of such ports doesn't grow, which means that the problem is manageable and will eventually go away. Ciao, Sheldon.
