* From: Maxim Sobolev <sobomax@altavista.net>
* IMHO, there is easiest way to detetmine leftover files. You can use script
* to mesure time spent to make install/deinstall, and then find files in
* ${PREFIX}, which have been created during this time. This would allow to
* easily associate leftovers with appropriate port.
*
* 1. cd /usr/ports/myport & make all
* 2. t1=time
* 3. cd /usr/ports/myport & make install deinstall
* 4. t2=time
* 5. t=t2-t1
* 6. find ${PREFIX} -cmin -(t+1)
I can think of two problems with that approach off the top of my head:
(a) It won't find files that are unpacked directly into the
installation directory (e.g. tar -x)
(b) It will find directories in which files are created and then
deleted.
Really, my method is not that hard, since I already have all the files
installed in a (previously empty) ${prefix} and I need to clean them
up for the next build anyway. (The chroot environments are recycled.)
I just added a check in between.
