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) --- share/man/man7/build.7 | 11 ++++++++++- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'share') diff --git a/share/man/man7/build.7 b/share/man/man7/build.7 index 2af6cac..e37e241 100644 --- a/share/man/man7/build.7 +++ b/share/man/man7/build.7 @@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ .\" .\" $FreeBSD$ .\" -.Dd February 23, 2005 +.Dd July 23, 2005 .Dt BUILD 7 .Os .Sh NAME @@ -95,6 +95,15 @@ Equivalent to .Cm buildkernel followed by .Cm installkernel +.It Cm delete-old +Delete obsolete base system files and directories interactively. +When -DBATCH_DELETE_OLD_FILES is specified at the command line, +the delete operation will be non-interactively. +.It Cm delete-old-libs +Delete obsolete base system libraries interactively. +This should only be used if no 3rd party software uses the libraries anymore. +When -DBATCH_DELETE_OLD_FILES is specified at the command line, +the delete operation will be non-interactively. .El .Pp For more information about the ports build process, see -- cgit v1.1
