--h31gzZEtNLTqOjlF Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'm trying to remove the dependencies on tools in /usr from the /etc/rc.d/var script. I've managed to eliminate touch and newsyslog, but I would like some feedback on the best way to eliminate mtree. Currently mtree lives in /usr/sbin. I need to populate the empty md(4) based /var. There are two main approaches I can think of: - Move mtree to /sbin. We'd probalby have to leave a symlink behind, but it would work and be fairly easy. - Add support to bsdtar for reading mtree files and use that functionality to create pax archives of BSD.var.dist and BSD.sendmail.dist.
