Add delete-old and delete-old-libs targets:
- removes obsolete files/dirs or libraries.
- works in interactive (default) and batch mode
- respects DISTDIR
- documented in UPDATING and build(7)
The head of the file ObsoleteFiles.inc contains instructions how to add
obsolete files/dirs/libs to the list. Obviously one should add obsolete
files to this list, when he removes a file/dir/lib from the basesystem.
Additionally add check-old target:
- allows re@ to check if a file on the obsolete list resurfaces
Design goals:
- allows full control by the user (default interactive mode)
- possibility of scripted removal of obsolete files (batch mode)
- opt-in removal of files (explicit list of files)
- seperate removal of libs (2 delete targets)
Important design decissions:
- structured list of files to remove instead of a plain text file:
* allows to remove additional files if a NO_foo knob is specified
without the need to change the targets (no NO_foo knob is respected
yet)
- not using mtree like NetBSD does:
* mtree doesn't has an interactive mode
Discussed on: arch (long ago), current (this year)
Additional input from: re (hrs)
