I just committed this change to `install': > Add options -C (same as -c except for preserving the modification > time of the target if the target file is the same as the source), > -d (debug), and -p (same as -C except for preserving the modification > time of the source if the target doesn't exists or is different from > the source. This is useful for stopping `make install' in /usr/src from clobbering the timestamps on everything installed so that all binaries don't immediately become out of date because they depend on the installed libc.a. It is also useful for avoiding unnecessary backups. It will be useful for avoiding complications to avoid clobbering timestamps when installing headers. To use this option for everything installed by `make install', add INSTALL= install -C to /etc/make.conf. Bruce
