Hi, I just got bitten recently by a couple of out of date binaries. All I had to do to `fix' what seemed to be a bug was to recompile a couple of programs. What about automating recompilation of out of date programs? My system is very much up to date wrt sources and it seems that all of my /386/bin is out of date, sic. The silly script I attach does pretty well for me to detect out of date binaries. It would be a matter of recompiling those ones detected after source code gets changed. I know this would make us pull new binaries often, but at least it's better for safety. Even better would be to instruct our mkfiles to compile only thing out of date and then simply run `mk' in the whole cmd tree; but I dont know of a clean way of doing it. The only way I know would be to use of a script like this in `update' targets added to every mkfile.
