https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193371 Bug ID: 193371 Summary: knob to force deinstall of previous version of port before building the new version Product: Ports Tree Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Infrastructure Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: pi@FreeBSD.org During the tests for the upgrade of textproc/p5-YAML 0.87 -> 1.11 (PR 192727) the following problem was observed (which also happened with other ports): The old port is splitted in two new ports (here YAML -> Test::YAML and YAM). If one tries to build the new port, it conflicts with the installed old port and the update fails. Currently, /usr/ports/UPDATING gets a new entry and folks have to manually handle this case. The suggestion is to have some knob which says: during build, the old instance of the port needs to be deinstalled. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
