Hello,

I was surprised to see there is no ${MK_JAIL} conditional to remove
old files on 8.2-RELEASE so I started to write it without watching if
-CURRENT already make it in
/usr/src/tools/build/mk/OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc.

.if ${MK_JAIL} == no

I think they should be removed too, thus can you merge it to -STABLE
if it's not already done? (sorry I'm not used to the cvs web
interface and I don't have -STABLE right now)

No I understood why, that's because a lot of userland programs that can handle jails processes are linked to the libjail such as top, ifconfig, ...

So it's just about merging to 8-stable.

I made a diff between -current and 8-stable, and there are a lot of differences. Instead of merging just the entries for the jails, it would be better to merge nearly everything. The problem is that this requires a lot of testing (delete old files, installworld, check if files reappear -> need to be removed from the list to remove with delete-old/-libs) and the libs need to be checked for the correct version number too.

Anyone out there willing to take the stuff in /usr/src/tools/build/mk/OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc from current for his favourite WITHOUT_xxx option and test it in the above described way? I do not have the resources (time/machine) to do it, but I would be willing to commit tested parts.

Bye,
Alexander.
