The -m option cases the destination database to be overwritten. If you
want to maintain its contents you need to specify it as a source
database. From "gcj-dbtool --help" output:
gcj-dbtool -m dest.gcjdb [source.gcjdb]...
- Merge gcj map databases into dest
Replaces dest
To add to dest, include dest in the list of sources
But as I understand it, rebuild-gcj-db is supposed to rebuild
classmap.db from scratch. If that's the intended behaviour (and is safe
-- aph?) then
(cd $DB.d; ls . | xargs gcj-dbtool -m $DB)
is correct.
