It is not installed because the binaries are identical (and install -C copies to a temporary file (say ld-elf.so.1.tmp), and compares to ld-elf.so.1. Then it compares and either deletes ld-elf.so.1.tmp or renames it over top of ld-elf.so.1). It does update the 'ctime' entry of ld-elf.so.1, so using 'find /usr \! -ctime 1 -print' right after make world will find all the "old" files. (^ this is how many days ago you made world, rounded up) If it were installed normally, it would first delete ld-elf.so.1, then copy the new one into place (with mode 000 while the copy takes place). This is VERY bad in a running system. The 'find' works better if /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 are symlinks, or set the option to not recurse into those directories. And, 'perl' has to be checked manually. > Are there a lot of files that aren't installed for similar reasons > during an installworld?

Yes, in: /usr/include <- this falls to 'find -ctime'. /usr/libdata/perl <- you are better off ignoring "old" files in here. The dates on symlinks aren't changed. There are a few files in /usr/share that are "local" files and are never updated. There may be more, but these are pointed out by the 'find' above. -- Zach Heilig <z...@uffdaonline.net> / Zach Heilig <z...@gaffaneys.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
