Yes, you are right, :t* were not from ODE. I think David was refering to the :L and :U modifiers that (as you noted) I added to NetBSD make along with :D, :P, and :@, that all originated in ODE. This patch adds :tu and :tl as aliases for freebsd's :U and :L, so that makefiles at least can start to converge. --sjg _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
