I think it is a very important feature to ensure release builds are not polluted by local changes in /etc/src.conf, etc. I think it would be good to support both models perhaps, but for our official release builds I think we need the clean environment. I certainly use 'make release' now for my own custom FooBSD builds to get a clean environment. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ 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"
