https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=286107 --- Comment #9 from Martin Birgmeier <d8zNeCFG@aon.at> --- (In reply to Mark Millard from comment #6) You are right, rsync is not the way to go. But as far as I understand there are cryptographic checksums of every file both in the /var/db/pkg/local.sqlite database and in a .pkg file. If I am not wrong here, this information could be used to perform the comparison. I understand that there are some post-install steps, such as dealing with .sample files etc., but these are usually small and therefore not such a problem if getting "unnecessarily" reinstalled. I now also saw your last sentence, thank you. -- Martin -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
