My concern is that checked in 'local' files should not be changed by FreeBSD. I should not have to fight conflicts of _my customizations_ against _FreeBSD customizations (against bmake upstream)_. There is so much logic in these local.* files, they seem more aptly named 'freebsd.*' as they seem to be intended to be customizations for FreeBSD, rather than optional customizations for a developer or other downstream consumer of FreeBSD. -- Regards, Bryan Drewery _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
