Until a few hours ago, I assumed that, in a .pkgsave situation: - if a .pkgsave file exists, its content will be lost (replaced with newer content). For example, if user grahamperrin exists in /etc/group but _not_ in /etc/group.pkgsave then a pkgbase upgrade would result in /etc/group.pkgsave _including_ grahamperrin. ---- From test results a few hours ago, it seems that: - my assumption above was false - it is advisable to delete archaic .pkgsave files before a pkgbase upgrade. Can someone confirm? Thanks
