From f78772bbe490b9eec3f72e17c387f3c297c8fb08 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: netchild Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2005 14:23:30 +0000 Subject: 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) Approved by: mentor (joerg) --- UPDATING | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'UPDATING') diff --git a/UPDATING b/UPDATING index 42db27e..50c8d10 100644 --- a/UPDATING +++ b/UPDATING @@ -277,6 +277,7 @@ COMMON ITEMS: [3] mergemaster -p [5] make installworld + make delete-old mergemaster [4] @@ -314,6 +315,7 @@ COMMON ITEMS: [3] mergemaster -p [5] make installworld + make delete-old mergemaster -i [4] -- cgit v1.1
