I understand what the topic is. I don't understand your comment, "I'd be inclined just to remove all files in those directories which are older than some file in the build tree--*after* a successful installation." "install -C" doesn't change the timestamp, so you'll have tons of files that are older than "some file in the build tree". You don't blindly want to remove files and I doubt you want mergemaster to list possibly hundreds of files as removal candidates. So, yes, "install -C" confuses the issue :-) -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
