Is it so hard to type make -DDISABLE_CONFLICTS fetch to, fetch and make -DDISABLE_CONFLICTS to build - given that this is something that's rarely needed. When I first read this it sounded bad, but the more I think about it the more I think the change is sensible. If it bothers you that much why don't you just alias make -DDISABLE_CONFLICTS to make-anyway. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
