Does it mean they are no longer > needed and can be safely removed? miniperl and kernfs are definitely deprecated and should be removed - not sure about the others in /sbin, but I would guess that they too are deprecated. /stand, as already mentioned, comes from src/release and is not built during a buildworld. Something that I have long thought would be a good idea is some mechanism for having installworld (or maybe mergemaster) remove deprecated files. -Jason -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freud himself was a bit of a cold fish, and one cannot avoid the suspicion that he was insufficiently fondled when he was an infant. -- Ashley Montagu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: See https://private.idealab.com/public/jason/jason.gpg iD8DBQE/MYO8swXMWWtptckRAj+jAJ9JSR6+4exBjoxlLpVFfKq+pdM20QCfWVWW rK0AELeTe7BfoYCz7I3cZUg= =eiYT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
