* I've just offered two fixes :-) Both unfortunately need changes to * anything adding/deleting packages - I have Cc:'ed the respective * maintainers. This is bad for backwards compatibility, but something I * believe would be a Good Thing(tm) for 3.0. It would probably be best * if the installer did a convert on update, though. I'm not sure if you got my mail, but anyway: you don't need to change the /var/db/pkg/<packagename> structure. I have been enforcing the <name>-<version> convention for all the package names, so it is easy to deduce the name by just subtracting the last hyphen and anything that follows it in the utilities. I can change bsd.port.mk, can someone look at pkg_*? (No, not me. ;) Satoshi
