* From: Josef Karthauser <joe@pavilion.net> * On a slightly different note... it would be really good if the * pkg_install program could ask if you wanted to uninstall a previous * version at install time. Part of why this isn't possible at the * moment is that the /var/db/pkg hierarchy doesn't contain the actual * package name anywhere, only the 'pkgname-version'. If the structure * of the ports directory is seriously being reconsidered, isn't it * time to reconsider the structure of the /var/db/pkg hierarchy as * well to make it more future proof? Yes, I've been considering this, but it really doesn't have anything to do with the location/naming of the ports files, so let's keep this discussion separate for now. -PW To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
