Just for sake of clarity: the 2 words TARGET are for different things,
right? Maybe it could be replaced by:
make config T=<config template>
make
make <install target>
Thinking a bit more about "make install" current behavior and
the new one.
Today, I think nobody uses "make install" without T=. Indeed,
it is not possible to build all targets (bsd + linux) on the
same host.
So, it won't break anything to have:
make install -> do the same than your "make install-fhs"
make install T=<templates> -> same than before
In the future, to avoid confusion, we could deprecate the
"make install T=" or rename it in something else... even remove
it if there is an alternative with the new file hierarchy that
you are introducing.
Last comment, I think the "make help" and some documentation
files should be updated to reflect your changes.
Thank you for working on this!
Regards,
Olivier
