I just found out that makewhatis does not produce the same output after two different installworld runs. I'm not sure why this is, but it would be neat if we could fix it. To reproduce, try something like: make buildworld for i in 1 2 do rm -rf /foo/bar make installworld DESTDIR=/foo/bar md5 /foo/bar/usr/share/man/whatis done -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
