/usr/bin/install shipped with RHEL4 had a '-C' option - the man page entry
is:
-C Install file, unless target already exists and is the same as
the new file, in which case the modification time won’t be
changed.
However, with /usr/bin/install on RHEL5, this option is not there.
The changelog for RHEL5 coreutils has:
* Thu Mar 24 2005 Tim Waugh <[email protected]> 5.2.1-43
- Removed patch that adds -C option to install(1).
Does anyone know why this option was removed?

Thanks for the link, but it doesn't really answer the question as to why
the -C option was removed from /usr/bin/install ???
Thanks
