That still leaves the questions of when WITH_META_MODE=yes is necessary: For example, is it ever required for the likes of mergemaster? (I'll use mergemaster to illustrate a more general question that applies to other potential scripts as well.) There is no point to provide it to mergemaster or for it to use it internally. The recommended way to use this feature is to add it to /etc/src-env.conf and forget about it or specify it for buildworld/buildkernel/universe (build) targets. There is also no harm in always defining it. That is the goal at least. -- Regards, Bryan Drewery
