Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->wblock Take. Author: wblock Date: Wed Jan 30 03:14:07 2013 New Revision: 40809 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/40809 Log: Rewrite the outdated section explaining make.conf and add a section to mention the existence of src.conf. Warn users that these things, although shiny and strangely compelling, are also very sharp.
