I hope this gets cleaned up before 3.4 & 4.0 go out the door! > > [hawk-billf] /home/billf > grep '^CHOWN' /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk > CHOWN?= /usr/sbin/chown 3.4-RC cd /usr/src/ grep chown Makefile.inc* Makefile.inc1: usr.sbin/chown \ Won't currently break, but well on repo move. Also share/man/man/man/man* has some references to it. A ``cd /usr/src; find . -type f | xargs grep bin/chown'' finds all these, and some more interesting ones that say /bin/chown is the path (mainly contrib/*/configure files). If it is going to move a much much longer investigation as to maximal compatibility with other systems locations is in order (I suspect BSD systems all use /usr/sbin/chown, and derivates of other systems use /bin/chown, and no one uses /sbin/chown.) -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
