Hello -stable,
I've been tracking 4-stable ever since 4.0-RELEASE & I've
noticed (after becoming current with RELENG_4 as of
2000/10/22) that there are some old things in /usr/bin (&
manpages too, I think) that date back to the original
installation of 4.0-R.
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
