I know that FreeBSD is still lacking a solution to remove old librairies, but I would like to know the actual recommended way to remove old libraries. I'm not asking for a solution as NetBSD's /etc/postinstall, just a simple and neat one. I can think of number of such solutions, like searching for libraries dating before the last world, parsing Makefiles from src/ to deduce which libs are obsolete, ldd on each binary ... But I would like to hear what others do to achieve this. In short, I'm looking for a neat solution. Note that I'm conscious that I should not remove old libraries while I have not recompiled all ports. Thank you. Regards, -- Jeremie Le Hen < jeremie at le-hen dot org >< ttz at chchile dot org >
