I was going through the source for vsd-genskel.pl to get an
idea about what exactly happens behind the scenes during skel
creation.
There is one thing I am unsure of. The script does a simple
cp -a /usr into the skel directory. Afterwards skel/usr/sbin
is deleted and then recreated with:
mkdir ("$skelroot/usr/sbin", 0755);
foreach $file (@usr_sbin_progs) {
`cp -a /usr/sbin/$file $skelroot/usr/sbin/$file`;
}
How does the result of this loop differ from a simple "cp -a"?
I assume that @usr_sbin_progs contains less than all of the
files in /usr/sbin, but I am not sure how or why?
