There was a discussion of this recently, and the conclusion was more or
less that doing this in an automated fashion is frought with danger,
since you don't know for sure what else besides system components the
user has put in the various directories.
I've been using the following combination of a bash function (that could
just as easily be its own script) and a script I call
after_installworld.
doinstall ()
{
cd /usr && [ -d include-old ] && /bin/rm -r include-old;
[ ! -e include-old ] && mv -i include include-old;
/bin/rm -r /usr/share/man;
cd /usr/src && touch installdate && make installworld
}
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH
for dir in /bin /lib /libexec /rescue /sbin \
/usr/bin /usr/games /usr/lib /usr/libdata /usr/libexec /usr/sbin ; do
for file in `find $dir \( -type f -o -type l \) -a \
! -newer /usr/src/installdate`; do
case "${file}" in
/usr/lib/compat/*|*/0ld/*|/usr/libdata/perl/*) ;;
*) echo ''
ls -lao ${file}
read -p " *** Move ${file} to ${file%/*}/0ld? [n] " M
case ${M} in
[yY]*) mkdir -p ${file%/*}/0ld
chflags 0 ${file} &&
mv -i ${file} ${file%/*}/0ld/
;;
esac
;;
esac
done
done
exit 0
This combination keeps things squeaky clean for me.
HTH,
Doug
