Is there a way to perform a clean installworld ?

[rbranco]

If I set `WITHOUT_LPR=1` in /etc/src.conf the printing binaries are no longer installed when I run `make installworld`. But they're no longer updated and they're installed setuid, unless manually removed.

How to deinstall them?

The same applies to `WITHOUT_LIB32=1`, etc. Is there a way to perform such a clean installworld?

The cleanest way would be to make a new filesystem on a new disk, then do installworld with those options targetting the new filesystem, then switch boot disks.

How to deinstall them?

You run make delete-old and make delete-old-libs. You can set BATCH_DELETE_OLD_FILES or else it will ask for each file it wants to remove.

     Convenience targets for cleaning up the install destination directory
     denoted by variable DESTDIR include:

     check-old        Print a list of old files and directories in the system.

     delete-old       Delete obsolete base system files and directories
                      interactively.  When -DBATCH_DELETE_OLD_FILES is
                      specified at the command line, the delete operation will
                      be non-interactive.  The variables DESTDIR, TARGET_ARCH
                      and TARGET should be set as with “make installworld”.

     delete-old-libs  Delete obsolete base system libraries interactively.
                      This target should only be used if no third party
                      software uses these libraries.  When
                      -DBATCH_DELETE_OLD_FILES is specified at the command
                      line, the delete operation will be non-interactive.  The
                      variables DESTDIR, TARGET_ARCH and TARGET should be set
                      as with “make installworld”.

Thank you SirDice ! After checking with `make check-old`, this command worked like a charm:

`make -DBATCH_DELETE_OLD_FILES delete-old delete-old-libs`
