In message <199804280603.IAA19498@greenpeace.grondar.za> Mark Murray writes: : You are SOL. A partially applied CTM delta breaks everything :-( I'm thinking about hacking ctm to have a mode that ignores the delta if the md5 already matches the new md5 in the ctm package. That way if there is a mismatch with the old one, it will try to apply it, keep quiet about the ones that are up to date and whine (but not die) if there is one that doesn't match either of the md5's. This would let me recover from 95% of the partially applied CTM delta problems I've run into over the years. It would at least let me KNOW what is corrupted and take whatever action I need to to recover. I've not even looked at the code, nor at the ctmmd5 stuff that chuck pointed me at. Would there be any interest in this? Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
