My idea was to have a common dir to look for "any-version" in eg /var/db/gtk. If some version exists we can register the port we are installing with that gtk version and dependencies are correct. Today it will try to register with the portversion in /usr/ports which isn't (always) what is installed. With a one-level struct we can achieve the same thing, but then we need do some regexp on every portdirname in /var/db/pkg to see if it matches our name - i really don't like that idea. that's why I began thinking in multi-level /var/db/pkg system. does this seem totally stupid? (it doesn't to me, but i am not familiar with how big a change this is :)) -- Patrik Sundberg - email: ps@raditex.se || ps@radiac.mine.nu ---> telefon: 013-178 567 - mobiltelefon: 070-760 22 40 <--- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
