Well, what I proposed contained an echo to add the lines at post-install, and a sed to remove the lines at deinstall, which would work well for portupgrade or any other way of updating ports which make use of deinstallation and not FORCE_PKG_REGISTER. --=20 Mathieu Arnold --==========76544924BEDF25D00515========== Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (MingW32) iD8DBQE//S+hqYYpzGz/vmcRAnZuAJ45eEB7pTJsY8hd2lle3GJy9ets+wCdEIsj aIMvWcIn+kBq17rStbuDcas= =cs8K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==========76544924BEDF25D00515==========--
