I realize that I am a bit of a late comer to this discussion. I use this
method to remove old files. You guys might gasp in horror, but it seems to
work. The actual script is a bit longer. I do this on RELENG_5 but that
shouldn't matter.
# make buildworld
# touch time_marker
# make installworld
# find $dir \! -path $includes_and_others \! -type d \! -newer time_marker
-exec rm {} \;
I only recently started doing this on a system that I mostly compile
software on. I did end up having to remake a port that was linked to a
library that was deleted. That's no biggy on a hobby box.
My motivation was to delete items that I had NO_* (bind, sendmail) options
for in make.conf.
Later,
Jason
