Hi, dh_movefiles internally uses tar to move file contents. I'm not sure why it doesn't use mv, is it because mv moves the file block-by-block and thus starts removing parts of the file before it is completely written, and hence is less save?
Anyway: If I am only going to move complete subdirectories from the temp tree to the package trees, is it in this case safe to use mv? It's much faster, and it would safe space (because dh_movefiles only removes the originals after the complete tarball has been extracted). TIA, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ.
