Which is better, ^? or ^H ? What's your point? Greg kludged share/sendmail/Makefile to work around Ruslan's broken implementation in xinstall. Either fix xinstall so options that conflict with -d are ignored (I've already posted a patch, twice), or fix the documentation of make.conf (I've already posted a patch for this, too) and fix the example make.conf under share/example/etc and add an entry to UPDATING. There is also an open problem report bin/37795, which Ruslan knew existed, and he has not closed it (his kludge invalidates the PR). At one time, setting INSTALL to install -C in make.conf could be a BIG time saver during a make world? One can no longer set INSTALL. -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
one or two errors in installworld
In the file /usr/src/share/sendmail/Makefile:
copies::
.for dir in ${CFDIRS}
${INSTALL} -o ${BINOWN} -g ${BINGRP} -m 755 -d ${DDIR}/${dir}
.endfor
...according to the fine man page, the -d option should appear before both the
target directory and all the other options.
Also, it appears that INSTALL is defined as install -C, which I
don't think is appropriate for use with the -d option either. I
think I noticed a few install -C -C ... 's flash by before the
last attempted installworld ground to a halt.

Change the override of INSTALL in /etc/make.conf.

This is bogus. [x]install should ignore options
that conflict with -d.
If you don't think it's bogus, then fix the
documentation of make.conf and commit an UPDATING
entry to warn everyone who set INSTALL several years
ago.
