One minor concern I have with this patch is documenting LOCAL_LIB_DIRS. I've not posted to the lists yet, but now that I understand buildworld better, I think I implemented it wrong. It should have required that the directories be also be listed in LOCAL_DIRS. The reason is that you could then have LOCAL_DIRS=foo and LOCAL_LIB_DIRS=foo/lib so you only added one directory to the FreeBSD tree but could still have libs. I feared that someone might have started using this feature which would mean we can't easily change that. Is Isilon using it? -- Brooks _______________________________________________ freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-toolchain-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
