I have uploaded `install.tar.gz' into /pub/FreeBSD/incoming on
freebsd.cdrom.com. The new install has the default behavior of
the current install in the source tree. I have only added some
options and error handling.
The added options:
-C --- Compare the source and target file. If these are the
same, then do nothing (except possibly remove redundant new
file).
-t --- set the timestamp on the target file to the timestamp
on the source file
-z --- execute gzip and append `.gz'
-Z --- execute gzip and do not append `.gz'
For those who have followed the previous thread. The symlink option
has been removed because symlinks could inadvertedly pointed to nothing.
This is easily seen from
%make install [creating symlink /install/dir/file->/make/dir/file]
%make clean [remove /make/dir/file]
I have done only limited testing of this new version. My weekly `make world'
will start some time on Friday morning.
