Date: Mon, 20 May 1996 06:52:56 -0700 Message-ID: <3414.832600376@time.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've long been annoyed by mtree output of the form: mtree -deU -f /a/src-current/etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist -p /usr local: user (3, 0, modified) gid (7, 0, modified) missing: ./libdata/stallion (created) missing: ./obj (created) missing: ./share/calendar/ru_SU.KOI8-R (created) missing: ./src (not created: File exists) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ These spew out intermixed with the creations and valid permission adjustments and make them hard to see. I would like to propose that we make nuke all the "(not blah: File exists)" messages from mtree (unless you put it into verbose mode or something) so as to get more readable output from it in the future. Any objections? Jordan
