Building Less?

[Warner Losh]

This isn’t quite right. /etc/src.conf is used only for /usr/src builds. It is ignored for /usr/doc and /usr/ports builds, which build(7) also documents. I’d be more specific.

Also, this is just a nit, the man page is src.conf 5, not SRC.CONF 5. If you’re cleaning up the other language, you may want to correct that.

Can I suggest/submit some other changes to the build (7) page (that I will test myself)? Also the fdp-primer says in chapter 3.1 that the doc project owns man pages and then I couldn't find another single reference to them again.
