This policy is enforced whenever you "make world". It's a little annoying having to keep undoing this, and inconvenient to keep patching the file in a ctm tree before each build. Is there any reason to keep this line in BSD.usr.dist - would BSD.local.dist not suffice for those who want to simply adopt the default policy for /usr/local? >How-To-Repeat: make world >Fix: Remove "local" entry from etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->rgrimes Responsible-Changed-By: scrappy Responsible-Changed-When: Sun May 26 16:27:30 PDT 1996 Responsible-Changed-Why: Rod's been working on cleaning this up, so I've been reminded Responsible-Changed-From-To: rgrimes->freebsd-bugs Responsible-Changed-By: scrappy Responsible-Changed-When: Mon May 27 00:41:33 PDT 1996 Responsible-Changed-Why: have been informed that rgrimes is not handling this after all :( State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: phk State-Changed-When: Sun Apr 12 10:06:56 PDT 1998 State-Changed-Why: I think this one has been overtaken by events, in particular the existence of the ports-collection makes this somewhat surreal... >Unformatted:
