As examples, these are the files in /usr/bin from the original install & which make {build,install}world have not clobbered: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6557 Mar 20 2000 systags -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 46532 Mar 20 2000 htags -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 25552 Mar 20 2000 gctags -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 30852 Mar 20 2000 gtags -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 35876 Mar 20 2000 global -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10936 Mar 20 2000 btreeop Can these be deleted safely? Source seems to be gone now. How about other old cruft (ie. manpages, other system directories?) Is this a bug, a feature, or maybe even a make-option? Or is this a side-effect of not having originally run a cvsup with a tag of RELENG_4_0_0_RELEASE? What would be a Good Way(tm :) to find & delete this old stuff? Naturally, FAQ & -doc pointers are quite welcome. :) Thanks, -kc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
