Hi,
-current being what it supposed to be, I find that as time passes my
system as getting filled up with the carcasses of old and abandoned
programs. At the minimum this can be a space wasting nuisance, and
may also leave way for security breaching
Is there any way, barring parsing the output of `make install' to
or `make release' to determine the list of `current' files on a system?
I'm looking at a registry of files maintaining sizes, permissions, checksums
of files, against which I can check a system.
If such a registry is to be added, what is a good place to add it?
(a) add the functionality to `install' (but this won't handle ports stuff)
(b) a separate program callable at install or release time or port addition
time.
