Description Bernd Luevelsmeyer 2001-02-17 05:20:00 UTC

In line 187 of src/release/Makefile there is
  -vnconfig 2>/dev/null
which is a syntax error. Either a special_file or -a is required.

Please close this, vnconfig is being used in this instance without any
arguments intentionally in order to load the 'vn' module. I don't know
how this person decided that it was worth reporting...

Wouldn't it load at the first "real" use of vnconfig anyway?

From my point of view, I reported that a command in a makefile never
works; I'd never have thought of an intentional error in order to
pre-load a module, honestly.

Can be closed if the behaviour is as intended, of course.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Usage of vnconfig was correct; mdconfig is used now, anyway.
