I had a quick look with grep and it couldn't USA_RESIDENT under /usr/src in 
6.1 at all.

It appears in three port Makefiles. In one it's passed into a scripts 
environment, but not used. In another it's used to set the default paper size 
of all things.

The only example I could find where it's used for anything meaningful is when 
xfree86 is built with the XDM_DES knob and it forces Americans to fetch their 
own copy of Wraphelp.c. There doesn't seem to be a corresponding usage in 
xorg, so maybe the  xfree86 port is just running a bit behind the times.

make.conf and USA_RESIDENT

[Adam Stroud]

I have seen references to a USA_RESIDENT make.conf entry.  However, I 
cannot find any reference to this variable in 
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf, or the make.conf man page.  Does this 
setting still exist?  If so, is there are documentation for it?


Thanks

I'm fairly certain this was in the good old days to
properly have the encumbered cryptography code built.
Since GAT and what not and other Illectual Property
agreements have been signed with the US and China most
notably I believe this code is no longer encumbered
with exportation restrictions and so the USA_RESIDENT
is no longer required. I believe this was in one of
the change logs for the system source, as I know I
read this. Maybe is was in the news log for
www.freebsd.org. However, I'm not certain where I read
this and when this changed.

I believe all the crptography code is built by default
now, however there are specific make options that
enable it.
