As Jordan pointed out, this gets very messy very quickly. > I don't think we should have an /etc/defaults/ directory, but if > it is insisted on then *ALL* the read-only files should be moved into > it, not just one of them. All of the files that currently mix read-only and read-write data will, ideally, be split so that the read-only content goes into /etc/defaults, and the "local changes" stay in /etc. The next big candidate for this is make.conf, but that will require careful testing first. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ m...@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msm...@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msm...@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
