Yes, it does it for you (and for everyone else who does the right thing), but I've seen abuse of your system directories to many times, so this would perhaps screw some of our users. So I don't think we should add something like you do or something like David does into installworld. My snipped just looks if there are libs in /usr/lib which also are in /lib and removes them from /usr/lib. That's one specific thing we know we have to do now. I don't insist of adding it to installworld, but we should at least add something into UPDATING which tells the user to clean up his /usr/lib after we added /lib (and my snipped automates this).

I think a better way is to add a new target to src/Makefile.inc1, say "installcleanworld". It would do this: mv /usr/include /usr/include.OLD mkdir /usr/lib.OLD mv /usr/lib/*.* /usr/lib.OLD ldconfig -m /usr/lib.OLD make installworld rm -rf /usr/lib.OLD /usr/include.OLD I may even make a patch for this myself. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: automated clean up of /usr/lib because of /lib
There was a discussion of this recently, and the conclusion was more or
less that doing this in an automated fashion is frought with danger,
since you don't know for sure what else besides system components the
user has put in the various directories.
I've been using the following combination of a bash function (that could
just as easily be its own script) and a script I call
after_installworld.
doinstall ()
{
cd /usr && [ -d include-old ] && /bin/rm -r include-old;
[ ! -e include-old ] && mv -i include include-old;
/bin/rm -r /usr/share/man;
cd /usr/src && touch installdate && make installworld
}
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH
for dir in /bin /lib /libexec /rescue /sbin \
/usr/bin /usr/games /usr/lib /usr/libdata /usr/libexec /usr/sbin ; do
for file in `find $dir \( -type f -o -type l \) -a \
! -newer /usr/src/installdate`; do
case "${file}" in
/usr/lib/compat/*|*/0ld/*|/usr/libdata/perl/*) ;;
*) echo ''
ls -lao ${file}
read -p " *** Move ${file} to ${file%/*}/0ld? [n] " M
case ${M} in
[yY]*) mkdir -p ${file%/*}/0ld
chflags 0 ${file} &&
mv -i ${file} ${file%/*}/0ld/
;;
esac
;;
esac
done
done
exit 0
This combination keeps things squeaky clean for me.
HTH,
Doug

automated clean up of /usr/lib because of /lib
Hi, shouldn't we add something like ---snip--- for i in /lib/lib*.so.*; do lib=$(basename $i) [ -f /usr/lib/$lib ] && chflags noschg /usr/lib/$lib && rm /usr/lib/$lib done ---snip--- into UPDATING or append it to the end of installworld?
