Is `/sbin/rc' really the only place where install is used in all possible installations? In both lines mentioned above install is only used to create a directory with specific permissions...both POSIX and GNU mkdir mandate/support `-p' and `-m', so install -d -m 0755 could be replaced by mkdir -p -m 0755 . (seems cleaner because `mkdir' is always in `/bin' (and in bash) while most Linuxes have `install' in `/usr/bin'). Azarah -- is comment #2 a viable option in your opinion? My name is not Azarah but I think comment #2 is fully a viable option in my opinion. /sbin/depscan.sh also uses install Fixed in CVS. |
