The renaming will only take effekt after updating. And we already hat issues because the list was too long. A> Your entry for the carp module is completely out of question for this list. Please remove it. The file /boot/kernel/if_carp.ko had been installed on older installations. It is not overwritten now. Thus, it may happen in a some weird case, that it is left intact. 'make installkernel' is not the only way to upgrade FreeBSD. To cover these potential cases I have added an entry. This entry doesn't hurt anybody or anything. The argument for getting list of ObsoleteFiles.inc can't be taken seriously. The fact is that this file is going to instantly grow in any forseen future. It is never going to get shorter. Thus, if we are getting problems with the list getting too long, then we need to enhance the script that delete old files, not try to reduce it by 0.0235% removing one of recent entries, that is uncertain. I am adding current_at_ to CC, may be someone can take role of negotiator on this issue, or just has opinion. A> A> Bye, A> Alexander.
