I see his point, it's just a little to in the end stop a lot of confusion. If you are so much so complaining about the lack of 27 extra characters typed by users/admins, I'm very sure it isn't that much more effort to put in the addition of 27+ characters to the Makefile for the developers to make a safety net for people whom are accustomed to "make world". This will remind them with a high level of VERBOSE, that they need to read /usr/src/UPDATING. My two cents. - DrewReceived on Tue Jul 13 2004 - 20:19:52 UTC
