By the way, there are also: make check-old-libs DESTDIR=. . . for learning ahead of time what would be involved in the delete sequence. There is also a command for listing what is considered for the checking, including what is not found to exist by the check-old-libs command: make list-old-libs DESTDIR=. . . > > Based on the above, the identified old content goes back to 2014: over a > decade. > >> >> >> Regards, >> >> >> Kaya >> >> >> > > -- === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
