The following reply was made to PR ports/7382; it has been noted by GNATS. From: asami@FreeBSD.ORG (Satoshi Asami) To: ady@warpnet.ro Cc: ady@freebsd.ady.ro, freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: ports/7382: Pine4 does not co-exist with older installed version of pine. Date: Thu, 23 Jul 1998 19:44:52 -0700 (PDT) * Don't be sorry, I'm lucky you are dense, or else I could miss this * aspect... No problem. Almost everybody (including myself) is confused by shared libraries. :) * Would somehing like the following line do the job for us (reliably) ? I think it's better to change the "base" name. It's ok to kludge around in Makefiles for ports but shared libraries, once installed, are public property. We never know what people are doing with them. Since pine4 is now the only "supported" version, how about just renaming the old library to libpico3.so.1.0 or something? * And there is more: there are some files common to both ports (pgp* files * and the manpages) which will be deleted with the first uninstall of one * port leaving the other without them. I don't know how we're going to * handle correctly this (the same situation like netscape-3 vs. * netscape-4)... Don't worry about that, it's a much larger problem than pine. Some day the ports framework will come up with a solution. As far as both versions work fine when they are co-installed, you should be happy.
