Well, I have lately been following a suggestion that DJ made some time ago. For the make install, I do make DESTDIR=/tmp/packagename-inst install and then I can see all the files installed by that package. Of course, this method doesn't work in all cases but when it does work, it gives a nice tree of files installed. It's easy to get an installed size too. When it doesn't work, each package has to have a specialized workaround created. Since you do a `find /` twice for each build, how long does that take? I note that your script depends on how filesystems are set up. For instance, I don't think it would work as is if /usr was on a separate partition. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
