hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
i use the attached script to scan for unpackaged files on my filesystem, |
| 4 |
and found quite a few in /etc, /usr/lib, /usr/X11R6 as well as the |
| 5 |
expected places. most of them were symlinks, the intention being fairly |
| 6 |
obvious (like the NVIDIA OpenGL stuff). |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
but i was hoping someone could explain why files like /etc/make.conf, /etc/csh.env, |
| 9 |
/etc/env.d/05gcc and /usr/include/awk/acconfig.h didn't belong to any package. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
i run the script with: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
$ ./gtfilelint -v -C gtfilelint.conf -o orphans.list |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
use -h to see available params. multiple -v increases verbosity. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
if you have a system with lots of packages, its going to take some time, |
| 18 |
as it caches all the /var/db/pkg/**/CONTENTS entries in a Berkeley hashdb |
| 19 |
for quick lookups, then runs /usr/bin/find on /, and compares results. exclusions |
| 20 |
to the find output are made by adding python re module regexes to |
| 21 |
gtfilelint.conf. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
if you run it as user, you may get some error output from find about permissions. |
| 24 |
you will want to specify a config file, otherwise you'll get a lot of stuff |
| 25 |
you probably don't care about. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
hope someone finds this useful |
