Those files were removed from the Xastir distribution some time back, and are no longer installed by the install process. By design, the build/install process does not remove anything from your maps directory that it doesn't know about -- for all it knows, you put it there yourself and would be furious to have it removed automatically. When Canada* and US_NWS_Radar* were removed from the source distribution, your stale copies of those files became something in your maps directory it doesn't know about, and that it won't delete. This is always the case with scripts and map files that Xastir installs. When we remove the source and tell the build system to stop installing them, the build system has no way of distinguishing these now-useless old copies from other files in the maps/scripts directory that you put there yourself. If you know before you do a source update that an update is going to remove files that used to get installed, you can avoid this sort of thing by doing a "make uninstall" *before* updating from git, then update the code and do a reinstall. The make uninstall will remove everything that it had installed before, and after the git update, the new install won't reinstall the deleted files. But once you've downloaded the new code from git this stops being an option. Your only choice now is to remove the files that are no longer installed by the build process. You should remove those old geos. They are worthless, because the servers they used to point to went off line permanently. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
