#1728: Chapter 6 - Package Management - Explain why 'install' is generally safer than 'cp' -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Future Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: fixed Keywords: | -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Based on practical experience, install *is* safer than cp. Let me explain the problem that I ran into. I had started KDE. qt was installed in /usr. I was recompiling Qt in an xterm. The Qt Makefiles use cp instead of install. During installation, the qt libraries were replaced by the new versions which caused my KDE session to abort. When I replaced the cp in the Makefiles by install, everything was ok. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/1728> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
