./wip/freedup16, Free disk space by hard linking duplicate files

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.6, Package name: freedup-1.6, Maintainer: stefano

F R E E D U P - allows you to reclaim space on your drive. It's simple.
===============================================================================
Freedup walks through the file trees (directories) you specify.
When it finds two identical files on the same device, it hard links them
together.
In this case two or more files still exist in their respective directories,
but only one copy of the data is stored on disk; both directory entries point
to the same data blocks.
[FREEDUP IN ACTION]
If both files reside on different devices, then they are symlinked together.
Please see the Syntax_page for instructions, how to modify the behaviour of
freedup.

Drop superfluous PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT, "user-destdir" is default these days.
Mark packages that don't or might probably not have staged installation.

This is version 1.6, faster and safer than wip/freedup already present.
There seem to be some problems with non-i386 and non-amd64 platforms so I 
have created a different package for this.
