I've upgraded my systems from 6.4 to 6.5 without a glitch, but I see
that /etc/networks and some other files (like malloc.conf.5) are still
present, although there is no use for them in the new release.
Is there a reason why these files are not listed in "FIles to remove"?
Is there a way to track them? It's not like something gonna break, but
old configuration files (and manual pages) lying around can make
someone's life harder during the debug session.
Take a look at the sysutils/sysclean port.
That's pretty much how I discovered this. But I want to know the
"official" way. Maybe there is a reason why e.g. perl files are to be
removed, but man pages are not.
I set up a script for sysclean:
cat sysclean65.txt | while read line ; do rm -rf "${line}" ; done
sysclean65.txt is obtained by running sysclean -a >>sysclean65.txt . I
don't run that line in sysclean65.sh because the files have to be
reviewed to prevent deletion of any additional files you may have added,
like certs or scripts.
