Yeah it must be for 4.x I guess. It would be nice if he mentioned that in the article though.
The only way someone can tell it's for 4.x is that there is no mention about editing stable-supfile and changing RELENG_4 to something else.
Your post is disturbing on so many levels man.
What ever happened with "best solution for the problem". Do you think your attitude of forcing people to write stuff for a certain system is gonna attract more people to linux? That's just insane. People use BSD because they like it and think it's good. People use linux because the like it and think it's good. I can't understand people who say that a certain system is better. If you think linux is better, use it!! But don't force your opinions on other people. It's one thing to argue that something is good but assuming your point of view is the right and the only way is just arrogant.
No I havn't moved anything from/etc/defaults. If I had moved it it would still contain the defaults. The one in/etc/ only contains perl related tags. I have three 5.2.1 systems and not one of them has an/etc/defaults/make.conf
And even after having run mergemaster there is still no make.conf there. Do you use 4.x or 5.x?
Okay.. When I manually ran cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile it added a Makefile and stuff in/usr/src but if the article is supposed to be a beginners look at upgrading the system, why does he assume that we have upgraded once before?
And still no sign of/etc/default/make.conf..
I don't know what version he is using but I'm running 5.2.1 and there is no/etc/defaults/make.conf, only an/etc/make.conf and that doesn't contain all the tags. and in/usr/src there is no Makefile. Am I doing something wrong here?

Okay I will have a look at it. Thank you very much!
