Thus spake Antoine Beaupre (anarcat@anarcat.ath.cx): http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=87661+0+archive/2002/freebsd-libh/20020609.freebsd-libh That's a great deal - the portversion is only used as symbolics to ppl can differentiate it, and we only use the ports' serial for upgrade/undo checks. I'm in favor of it :) btw, the current version consistency check doesn't work. "1.10" is reported as "invalid" version. I'm currently finding out what the features_provided stuff is. It seems to me that hte package install routine opens a dependency file compared to INDEX, which lists all packages that provide that and that feature. If none does exist and the source for the to be installed package is local, it does create such a INDEX-liek file, scanning all the .pkg.zip files that it finds in the local directory. For remote sites (e.g. ftp-servers) this file must be provided. However, the format is broken. but I'm about to fix it, and it looks like the package is able to automatically install dependend packages.
