If you want to reproduce Makefile behavior you may prefer to use install(1) witch can invoke strip(1) and save around 50kB. install -s haproxy /usr/sbin/haproxy-1.5-dev12 That was my 2 euro cents Joris > > I'm doing that myself too on the main site BTW, except that since > I regularly install test versions, I have a more complex naming > scheme :-) > > Also, you can use "reload" instead of "restart" to replace the > process.
