Useless -r argument in install-sh

Hi,

In the latest libtool release (2.2.6a), there is an unnecessary
"-f" argument to $rmcmd here:

  rmcmd="$rmprog -f"

Indeed, the code does:

  $doit $rmcmd -f "$dst" 2>/dev/null ||
  { $doit $mvcmd -f "$dst" "$rmtmp" 2>/dev/null &&
    { $doit $rmcmd -f "$rmtmp" 2>/dev/null; :; }
  }

Incidentally, is ":;" really useful in the last line?


There is also a direct call to "rm" here:

  rm -f "$dsttmp"

I think $doit $rmcmd might be used instead.


Have a nice day,
