Re: Files in Rootfiles

Hi,

unfortunately there is no better way than doing a full rebuild of the
entire distribution. I usually do that over night or when I am really
sure that I won't need to change anything else on the same day.

It is not good at all but if that helps, IPFire 3 doesn't have
rootfiles any more. So long we will have to survive on what we have.

Best,
-Michael

Usually, the "changed rootfile" than shows up and (in case of apache) shows some unrelated file that has been added by another package down the road (which also means that if I clean and build, it will complain it can't find that file, if I add that file to the rootfile). So how do I REALLY find out which files belong in the rootfile other than unpacking the source and looking at the build file of the individual package (and somehow guessing what will show compiled where)?
